Having done the league double over all of their fiercest rivals, the Blues enter as favorites. Man Utd, however, always give Chelsea a game. Both of their previous clashes this season were decided by a single goal, as was their Women's FA Cup final clash two years ago.
Sam Kerr made the difference on that occasion, but with the Aussie striker a long-term absentee, Aggie Beever-Jones has stepped up to become the team's focal point. She's Chelsea's top-scorer with 13 goals, but three of her teammates are in double-figures too, while Sandy Baltimore has pulled the strings from the left flank.
Man Utd's woman for the big occasion is Ella Toone, who broke the deadlock with a belter in last year's final, setting the Reds on course to a 4-0 thrashing of Tottenham. Marc Skinner's side, however, have gone winless in four and are sweating over the fitness of influential right-back Jayde Riviere.
