Holders Manchester United face treble-chasing Chelsea in the Women\u2019s FA Cup final, with over 85,000 tickets sold for the Wembley showpiece. <\/p>\n
United won their first major honour when they defeat Tottenham 4-0 to win the FA Cup last season, with Marc Skinner\u2019s side also beating Chelsea in the semi-finals that year. <\/p>\n
But the Blues have been as dominant as usual under Sonia Bompastor this season, going unbeaten in the Women\u2019s Super League and also lifting the Women\u2019s League Cup. <\/p>\n
Victory over United at Wembley would complete an unprecedented unbeaten treble in Bompastor\u2019s first year, with defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals the only disappointment. <\/p>\n
United, though, will be playing in their third FA Cup final in a row and will have a score to settle with Chelsea after a 1-0 defeat to them in the 2023 Wembley showdown. <\/p>\n
Here\u2019s everything you need to know. <\/p>\n
When is the Women\u2019s FA Cup final? <\/p>\n
The match will kick off at 1:30pm on Sunday 18 May at Wembley Stadium, with over 85,000 tickets sold. <\/p>\n
How can I watch it? <\/p>\n
It will be shown live on the BBC, with coverage starting from 12:50pm on BBC One and iPlayer. <\/p>\n
What is the team news? <\/p>\n
Chelsea will be without England star Lauren James due to a hamstring injury but Mayra Ramirez is fit to return. Sam Kerr remains out, having not featured at all this season due to injury. <\/p>\n
With the exception of right back Jayde Riviere, Manchester United have a fully-fit squad for the final. <\/p>\n
Interestingly, both teams switched formations and played a back-three at the weekend, so there could a surprise or two again. <\/p>\n
Predicted line-ups<\/p>\n
Chelsea XI: Hampton; Bronze, Bright, Girma, Charles; Walsh, Nusken, Cuthbert; Beever-Jones, Ramirez, Baltimore<\/p>\n
Man Utd: Tullis-Joyce; Mannion, Le Tissier, Turner, George; Miyazawa, Clinton; Bizet, Toone, Galton;Terland<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
