The Women's Super League campaign gets under way on Friday night, as last season's champions Chelsea host Aston Villa in their first competitive match since Emma Hayes's departure.

Hayes guided Chelsea to their fifth consecutive WSL title last campaign - as they won it based on goal difference - before leaving the Blues to take over the United States women's national team.

The Blues are the most successful team in WSL history after winning the league seven times, and they'll fancy their chances of making it eight this season, with their main competition coming from Manchester City and Arsenal.

Chelsea are now led by Sonia Bompastor, who was the first person to win the Women's Champions League as both a player and a manager, and she'll be hoping to lift the trophy again this season.

Aston Villa, meanwhile, finished seventh last term in an underwhelming season. They had a summer of change, with Dutch coach Robert de Pauw joining from Bayer Leverkusen to replace Carla Ward.
