Chelsea's title defense hangs in the balance as the champions face a must-win match against struggling Aston Villa.Chelsea TodayChelsea faces a crucial match against Aston Villa in the Women's Super League as the defending champions try to keep their title hopes alive. Chelsea, currently nine points behind league leader Manchester City, needs a win at home to have any chance of catching up in the title race. Aston Villa, meanwhile, is playing for pride as it is all but guaranteed relegation this season.
Why it matters

A loss to Aston Villa would effectively end Chelsea's chances of winning a seventh straight league title.
The details
Chelsea has dominated this fixture in recent years, winning all 11 of their previous Women's Super League encounters against Aston Villa. The Blues have scored 28 goals and conceded just 2 in those matches, suggesting a one-sided affair is likely on Sunday. Aston Villa, meanwhile, can no longer avoid relegation this season and is playing only for pride at this point.
- The match will take place on Sunday, March 29, 2026.
- Kickoff is scheduled for 6:55 AM EDT.
