Chelsea Women have already lifted the Women’s League Cup this season, and they can get a second cup this year as they’re still in the Women’s FA Cup chase. They will have to beat the current Women’s Super League champions to do so which is no easy feat. But we’ve already done so twice this season — who says we can’t do it again this weekend?

Chelsea team news: With a 3-1 win over Leicester City last weekend Chelsea secured a spot in the UEFA Women’s Champions League next season. The only question now is whether we finish the season in second or third in the league table as Arsenal still have a game in hand and are a single point behind us.
We’re sorely missing clean sheets and goalkeeper Livia Peng, who substituted Hannah Hampton last outing, couldn’t keep it for us. Hannah will be back to the fold for this Women’s FA Cup match which is good news for us. We will be missing defender Naomi Girma due to a calf injury.
Manchester City team news: City’s loss to Brighton at the end of last month might have given very few people some hope the Women’s Super League title wasn’t theirs. But they went and secured it anyway in the next game with a 1-0 victory over Liverpool last weekend.
They will need to make do with a squad suffering with several injuries thanks to the tear and wear of the season. Defenders Laura Wienroither and Naomi Layzell have been out of contention since April, whereas midfielders Vivianne Miedema and Sydney Lohmann were added to the injury list last week. The good news for them is that defender Rebecca Knaak might be available depending on a late fitness test.
Previously: Sam Kerr gives us the title with an extra time goal.
