WHAT HAPPENED?

Ahead of facing Tottenham in the WSL on Wednesday, a number of Chelsea first-team players, led by captain Millie Bright and Niamh Charles, got into a water fight on the training pitch.

Hayes conceded the WSL title to Manchester City after losing 4-3 at Liverpool earlier this month, however, after Arsenal's comeback win at the Citizens and Chelsea's 8-0 thumping of Bristol City, the title is potentially in their hands. The Blues have a game in hand on City and have a better goal difference, so if they win their last two matches, Hayes could get the perfect send-off after all.

WHAT NEXT?

Chelsea, who sit three points behind City, face Spurs next Wednesday, followed by a trip to Manchester United on the final day of the season on May 18. City travel to Aston Villa on the same day and will look to secure a thumping win to secure them the title.
