It’s a sunny summer’s day at Chelsea’s Cobham training ground. There’s a relaxed atmosphere about the place; little noise other than the odd bluster of wind and the lazy hum of one groundsman’s lawnmower.

It’s calming, almost tranquil. You’d be forgiven for thinking this was just another run-of-the-mill pre-season session. But it’s not.

Manager Emma Hayes and Chelsea F.C. Women are finalising preparations before their WSL curtain-raiser. This weekend sees The Blues take on London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur – an occasion which will be marked by a full house at Stamford Bridge.

“I think there’s something really special about a London Derby,” goalkeeper Carly Telford tells COPA90. “We know how much it means to the fans. Once you cross that line you bleed blue. For us, there’s no way other than winning.”
