It’s crunch time in the Women’s FA Cup, and Chelsea Women are just one win away from another shot at silverware. Already League Cup champions this season, the Blues are chasing a domestic double—but standing in their way are the reigning Women’s Super League champions, Manchester City. It won't be easy, but Chelsea have already beaten City twice this season. Can they make it three in a row this weekend?

Chelsea Team News:
Chelsea secured a spot in next season’s UEFA Women’s Champions League with a 3-1 win over Leicester City last weekend. Now, the focus shifts to finishing as high as possible in the league table—currently second, just one point ahead of Arsenal, who have a game in hand.
One area of concern has been the backline. Goalkeeper Livia Peng stepped in for Hannah Hampton last time out but couldn’t keep a clean sheet. The good news? Hampton is expected to return for this FA Cup semi-final, which should shore things up. However, defender Naomi Girma remains sidelined with a calf injury.
Manchester City Team News:
City’s title hopes looked shaky after a surprise loss to Brighton, but they bounced back emphatically by beating Liverpool 1-0 last weekend to clinch the WSL crown. Now, they’ll aim for a double of their own.
Injuries have taken a toll, though. Defenders Laura Wienroither and Naomi Layzell have been out since April, while midfielders Vivianne Miedema and Sydney Lohmann were added to the injury list just last week. On the bright side, defender Rebecca Knaak could return pending a late fitness test.
History Repeats?
The last time these two met in the FA Cup, Sam Kerr delivered an extra-time winner to lift the trophy. With both teams hungry for more hardware, expect another thrilling chapter in this growing rivalry.
