Chelsea FCW suffered the disappointment of the weekend match against Bristol City getting postponed due to an unplayable pitch. The Blues were all ready to set the WSL record for the longest unbeaten run ever at 32 games.
That remarkable feat, dating back to January 2019, will now have to be set against Aston Villa, a match that itself was postponed earlier, due to COVID quarantine protocol.
Assuming the match is played, Chelsea have a chance to make history.

Nearly a month has passed since the Blues stepped on the pitch to complete a two-leg drubbing of SL Benfica in the Champions League. And most recently, we have had a week of drama in the WSL surrounding disregarded COVID protocols that has led to multiple suspended matches.
Fortunately for the (well-behaved) Blues, their match against Reading goes on as planned. The Blues find themselves in third place in the table but with two matches in hand, fate remains in Chelsea’s hands. A win against Reading Women FC on Sunday would keep pressure firmly on Manchester United and Arsenal at the top of the table.
