Katie McCabe (right) joined Chelsea from Arsenal in the summer Doubt crept in at Chelsea last season when they lost their Women's Super League crown - but early signs in this campaign suggest they have regained their spark.
凯蒂·麦凯布（右）于夏天从阿森纳加盟切尔西 上赛季切尔西失去女足超级联赛冠军后，人们对她们产生了怀疑，但本赛季的早期迹象表明她们已经重新焕发了活力。
A crucial 1-0 victory over rivals Arsenal on Sunday meant they extended their WSL unbeaten run to 12 games and sit just two points off leaders Manchester City.
周日以1-0战胜对手阿森纳的关键胜利意味着他们将WSL不败纪录延长至12场，仅落后领头羊曼城两分。
They showed a different side - one that was willing to dig deep, control the game without the ball and defend with composure while Arsenal put pressure on.
他们展现了不同的一面——愿意深入挖掘、在无球情况下控制比赛并在阿森纳施加压力时冷静防守。
It may have been the missing ingredient as Chelsea look revitalised and refreshed.
这可能是切尔西看起来焕发活力和神清气爽时所缺少的成分。
Could they win the WSL title this year?
今年他们能夺得WSL冠军吗？
It would be foolish to say they can't. Find interviews and extra content on the BBC Women's Football Weekly feed Sonia Bompastor led Chelsea to an unbeaten domestic treble in her first season in charge, but it did not go to plan in 2025-26 as their six-year stranglehold on the WSL ended.
说他们不能是愚蠢的。 在 BBC 女子足球周刊上查找采访和额外内容 索尼娅·邦帕斯特在执教的第一个赛季就带领切尔西取得了不败的国内三冠王，但随着他们对 WSL 六年的束缚结束，这在 2025-26 年并没有按计划进行。
City overtook them at the top and many believed Arsenal would be the main challengers this season after a strong summer's recruitment.
曼城在榜首超越了他们，许多人相信阿森纳在经历了夏季的强劲引援后将成为本赛季的主要挑战者。
Perhaps written off, Chelsea started the season tamely, drawing 1-1 with Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge despite a dominant performance.
或许是被取消了，切尔西本赛季开局平淡，尽管表现出色，但在斯坦福桥以 1-1 战平阿斯顿维拉。
The same issues were rife as they lacked ruthlessness in front of goal and a mistake at the back gifted Villa an opportunity.
同样的问题也很普遍，因为他们在门前缺乏冷酷无情，而后场的失误却给了维拉机会。
But since then, Chelsea have turned dominant performances into results, winning three matches in a row, capping it off with a well-rounded display against Arsenal, who are seven points behind City in seventh spot.
但自那以后，切尔西将统治力的表现转化为成果，连胜三场，并在对阵阿森纳的比赛中以全面的表现结束了比赛，阿森纳落后排名第七的曼城7分。
Bompastor said her side were prepared to "mentally fight" and able to "adjust" to Arsenal's pressure in a way perhaps they didn't last season.
邦帕斯特表示，她的球队已经做好了“精神上的战斗”准备，并能够以上赛季可能没有做到的方式“调整”阿森纳的压力。
It was a defensive masterclass and they delivered Bompastor's gameplan perfectly, capping off victory with a third successive clean sheet - a run of 315 minutes without conceding a goal.
这是一场防守大师级比赛，他们完美地执行了邦帕斯托的比赛计划，以连续第三次不失球的成绩锁定了胜利——连续 315 分钟不失球。
"In this league, you have so many different opponents and you have to be able to adjust and do something different," said the Blues boss.
“在这个联盟中，你有很多不同的对手，你必须能够调整并做一些不同的事情，”蓝军主帅说。
"I've been talking a lot about that, to be strong and to be together, I always want to see a group of players who are together in those high and low moments.
“我一直在谈论这个问题，要坚强，要团结，我总是希望看到一群球员在高潮和低谷的时刻都在一起。
"We came into this game well prepared.
“我们为这场比赛做好了充分的准备。
We knew we would have moments in the game where we were not in control.
我们知道比赛中会有一些我们无法控制的时刻。
We prepared for those moments. "We knew exactly where we wanted them to take the ball and where to leave some spaces. We were really strong mentally and physically."
我们为那些时刻做好了准备。 “我们清楚地知道我们希望他们把球带到哪里，以及在哪里留下一些空间。 我们在精神上和身体上都非常强大。”
It is a result that could be the catalyst Chelsea needed to push on and put pressure on Manchester City, who face Arsenal next in the WSL (Sunday, 16:30 BST). Chelsea's match-winner Alyssa Thompson said their victory over the Gunners was "amazing for team morale".
这一结果可能成为切尔西继续前进并向曼城施加压力所需的催化剂，后者将在 WSL 中迎战阿森纳（周日，英国夏令时 16:30）。 切尔西队的获胜者艾莉莎·汤普森表示，他们对枪手的胜利“对球队士气来说是惊人的”。
Even Bompastor admitted Chelsea are "a different team from last season" and there are tangible examples of their improvements.
就连邦帕斯特也承认切尔西是“一支与上赛季不同的球队”，并且有切实的例子可以证明他们的进步。
England midfielder Keira Walsh was a standout performer against Arsenal and it was her strike which was parried into the path of Thompson for the only goal.
英格兰中场球员凯拉·沃尔什在对阵阿森纳的比赛中表现出色，正是她的射门被挡在汤普森的路径上，打进了唯一的进球。
Her new parternship with 20-year-old Lexi Potter is flourishing and has allowed Walsh to get further up the pitch and play with more freedom.
她与 20 岁的莱克西·波特 (Lexi Potter) 的新合作关系正在蓬勃发展，这让沃尔什能够在球场上走得更远，踢球更自由。
Bompastor said the 29-year-old was "a boss on the pitch" when she reaches those levels and it helps the team have "better foundations".
邦帕斯特表示，当这位 29 岁的球员达到这些水平时，她就是“球场上的老板”，这有助于球队拥有“更好的基础”。
Goalscorer Thompson has consistently delivered up front, while the arrival of summer signing Melvine Malard from Manchester United has given them an outlet.
射手汤普森一直在锋线上表现出色，而夏季从曼联签下的梅尔文·马拉德的到来给了他们一个出路。
The French striker missed their opening two matches with a minor injury but scored on her debut against Birmingham City and caused havoc against Arsenal.
这位法国前锋因轻伤缺席了前两场比赛，但在对阵伯明翰城的首秀中进球，并对阿森纳造成了严重破坏。
"She's massive for us.
“她对我们来说很重要。
She puts in work off the ball and sets off the press," said team-mate Walsh.
她在无球跑动中表现出色，引发了媒体的关注，”队友沃尔什说道。
"Her awareness of people around her and her ability... She's an incredible striker and she will be very good for us."
“她对周围人的认识和她的能力...... 她是一位令人难以置信的前锋，她将对我们非常有帮助。”
That press, led by Malard, has moved higher up and teams have struggled to break through, while full-back Ellie Carpenter continues to overlap dangerously. Katie McCabe, who switched from Arsenal to Chelsea this summer, has brought leadership and bite - an aggression that was lacking at times last season.
在马拉德的带领下，球队的压力已经上升到了更高的位置，球队一直在努力突破，而后卫艾莉·卡彭特继续危险地重叠。 凯蒂·麦凯布今年夏天从阿森纳转投切尔西，她带来了领导力和攻击力——这是上赛季有时缺乏的侵略性。
Most of all, the Blues look like a team who believe they should be champions and are willing to work for it.
最重要的是，蓝军看起来是一支相信自己应该成为冠军并愿意为此努力的球队。
It was in contrast to toothless Arsenal, who have one victory in their first four WSL games and scored just twice.
这与没有牙齿的阿森纳形成鲜明对比，他们在前四场 WSL 比赛中只取得了一场胜利，但只进了两球。
"We've got both sides to our game and we showed that tonight in spells.
“我们的比赛中双方都有，今晚我们用咒语证明了这一点。
Everyone was fighting for each other.
每个人都在为彼此而战。
Every first and second ball was ours," added Walsh.
第一个和第二个球都是我们的，”沃尔什补充道。
