Blundell: Our fans are fantastic

Marc Skinner's side travel to the capital for the 12:30 GMT fixture looking to close the gap on the Women's Super League leaders, having eclipsed Newcastle United 5-0 last weekend in the Adobe Women's FA Cup.

Blundell, a former Blue, is looking forward to continuing the positivity and ruthlessness shown against the Magpies when the Reds lock horns with Emma Hayes's side.

"The team is really excited, we have started 2024 well and we want to continue that going into the Chelsea game," she recently told club media.

"We are always a positive group and we are always looking forward to the next game. It will be a good one.

"I have played at Stamford Bridge a few times, it’s always been good so it will be nice to go back as part of the opposition this time round."

With our away support always something of a hot topic, United are yet to suffer defeat away from home in the WSL this season, further proving how much of a difference a vocal backing can make.

With a packed-out away end set to greet our players at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Blundell heaped praise on our amazing supporters.

"Our fans are fantastic," she added.

"They literally follow us everywhere we go and it’s a credit to them and it does not go unnoticed by us by the players.

"It’s fantastic that we have sold out the away allocation on Sunday, it’s something we are looking forward to and hopefully they are as well."
