Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor says her side need to "keep their heads on their shoulders" after an impressive start to the season.

The Blues face Celtic in the Women's Champions League at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday (20:00 GMT) hoping to make it 11 wins out of 11 in all competitions.

Bompastor's team beat Celtic 2-1 in their first meeting last week and sit top of their European group table with a 100% record.

"We work really hard as a team and a club to succeed. Maybe people think that's easy but it's not - it's a lot of hard work," said Bompastor.

"I’m lucky because I have a good squad with a lot of talent. I have depth in my squad. We have had good results but we need to keep our heads on our shoulders."

Bompastor expects "the same team spirit" from Celtic, having gone 1-0 down to the Scottish champions thanks to a goal from Murphy Agnew last week.

But Chelsea, who were a much-changed side in Scotland, came back to win as Maika Hamano and Ashley Lawrence put them in the driving seat.

"I'm never surprised about the opposition. Every opponent can show they fight really hard and put their heart on the field. Celtic showed that," added Bompastor.

"They will come [on Wednesday] with the same team spirit. My mindset is very clear - when we win, it's normal. I just move to the next game.

"It's important to keep the positives from one game to the other - but also look for room for improvement."

Celtic manager Elena Sadiku said she does not want to get sent off again after the first dismissal of her coaching career came in this weekend's defeat by Rangers.

Her side hope to claim their first ever point in the Women's Champions League in London and Sadiku is adamant she has learned her lesson.

"It was my first and my last [red card]. I would rather not speak about it, but it is what it is," she said.

"It's not how I want to be perceived and I'm never going to do it again."

European football has been a learning curve for Celtic but Sadiku feels her players are rising to the challenge in a tough group which includes Real Madrid.

"What the players have learned the most is to be braver and more confident, especially in possession," said Sadiku.

"We knew it was going to be tough, especially with the teams in the group. We're really learning during the competition.

"In the last performance against Chelsea it was pretty clear how much we fought together as a team and how strong we were as a team.

"Losing to Rangers the way we did, I don't think it took anything away from us. We're now even more hungry. It's all about how we step up again."
