A place in the League Cup final awaits for the winner of this clash between the WSL’s top two…

City welcome Chelsea to the Joie Stadium on Wednesday 21 January, with kick-off set for 19:00 (UK).

It’s a meeting between two of the most in-form sides in the country, with City boasting a 16-match unbeaten run in all competitions heading into the tie.

Greenwood on City’s improvement since last Chelsea clash

Chelsea, meanwhile, have scored 19 goals in their last three matches and will push the Blues to our limits for a place in the final against either Arsenal or Manchester United.

They’re neck and neck in the rapidly developing WSL title race, but all eyes are on the League Cup on Wednesday evening.

A rerun of last season’s final, City will be out to get revenge after a slender 2-1 defeat at Pride Park in the 2025 showpiece.

Victories over Everton and Nottingham Forest, plus a penalty triumph against Newcastle, booked our spot in this year’s quarter-finals against West Ham United, with a dominant 5-1 win following in December 2025.

But our biggest test this campaign undoubtedly follows under the Joie Stadium lights.
