    Wolfsburg Ladies 0-0 Chelsea Ladies

    Chelsea look like they will alternate between three and four at the back while in and out of possession.

    The Blues have had their first good spell of possession but Wolfsburg counter after clearing Eniola Aluko's low cross from the right.

    After good hold-up play from Ewa Pajor, Pernille Harder sends a low shot narrowly wide of Hedvig Lindahl's left-hand upright.

    That was a real warning for the visitors.
