Sonia Bompastor wants Chelsea to make winning "become easy" by continuing their successful run in Europe.

Chelsea have won 11 successive matches since the Frenchwoman took over from Emma Hayes in the summer and sit top of the Women's Super League (WSL) table.

Their 3-0 win over Celtic in the Women's Champions League on Wednesday meant they reached the quarter-finals with two group games to spare.

"As a club it's always important to make sure after four games you have the opportunity to qualify," said Bompastor.

"That's perfect, even if tonight you saw everything was not perfect - but in terms of results we are in a good place.

"It's good because once again it brings a lot of confidence. It is important for us to continue our run. There are a lot of positives.

"It's important to work hard so things can become easy, even if they are not easy."

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca on the international break: "The international break is good for those not going to recover, but also for those that do go.

"Joao [Felix] did fantastic [with Portugal]. Joao is doing well but needs to find that balance. Today, 48 hours before the game, is the first time we get to work with 12, 13, 14 players. It's not easy, but we are trying."

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca on whether he knows his best back four: "We changed full-backs with the way we want to play. One day, we want to move the centre-backs too."

So far, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca can be pleased with the progress his side have made this season.

Heading into the weekend, Chelsea sit third in the Premier League table, above Arsenal on goal difference and only behind Liverpool and Manchester City in the table.

While Chelsea have only won five out of 11 Premier League games, they have drawn four and lost just twice, coming against the two sides sat above them in the league.

They will have hoped to have turned more of their draws into wins, being held by Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, Manchester United and Arsenal.

In Europe, they have won all five of their Conference League fixtures and sit at the top of the table.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca on whether he has improved as a coach since leaving Leicester City: "To be honest, I work every day to become better. I hope [so] because I like to see things and analyse. We try to improve players but also improve staff. I try to improve every day.

"I don't know if I'm better or worse, but I'm always curious to see things and study. That's the only thing I focus on."

On the break he had during the international break: "I took until last Thursday completely off, but have been working since then."

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca on returning to Leicester: "I'm excited and thankful, it was a fantastic season. The owner, his family are fantastic people. They care for players, staff, all of the people that work in the club. You can see that.

"It was a fantastic season because I met good people. There was a fantastic connection between the players and staff, and that is something you have to create to be successful. I'm still in contact with them, it was fantastic."

It will be interesting to see what reception former Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca gets back at the King Power Stadium.

Maresca's last game as Leicester manager saw him lift the Championship title, having taken the Foxes back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

While he left for Premier League rivals Chelsea, he did bring success and promotion to Leicester after a frustrating relegation 12 months prior.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca on injuries: "We have just one injured player, that is Reece [James]. He felt something small and we don't want to take any risk.

"He is the only one for sure who is injured. The rest, some are better, some are still a doubt. We have to see.

"It's hamstring, it's a muscle problem and we don't want to take any risk."

Maresca added that it is a short-term injury.

Chelsea have a number of injury concerns that Enzo Maresca is expected to be asked about ahead of the trip to Leicester City.

Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill both withdrew from England's squad last week, while defenders Wesley Fofana and Malo Gusto also pulled out of France's senior and under-21s sides respectively.

Danish goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, who has served as back-up to Robert Sanchez this season, also withdrew from Denmark's under-21s squad.

There is also concern over Belgian midfielder Romeo Lavia, who has struggled with a hamstring injury.

Chelsea captain Reece James returned from injury to play in the Blues' last four league games.

But manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that the England full-back is back on the sidelines.

Maresca said: "He felt something, he has to be out, for sure this week. After that, we have to see."

This Saturday, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca returns to the King Power Stadium on Saturday for the first time since swapping Leicester City for the Blues in the summer.

In his one season in charge of the Foxes, Maresca guided his side to the Championship title in their first season back in England's second tier after nine seasons in the Premier League.

Maresca also took Leicester to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup last term, where they were knocked out by Maresca's current employers Chelsea.
