A place in the final against Arsenal or Manchester United awaits the victors, with kick-off set for 19:00 (UK) on Wednesday 21 January.
City are looking to take another step towards a first League Cup triumph since 2022, when we beat Chelsea at Plough Lane.
The Blues came from a goal down to win 3-1 thanks to a Caroline Weir brace and Ellen White strike on that occasion.
CITY v CHELSEA: GET YOUR TICKETS
But it was Chelsea who came out on top in the last meeting between the two sides in the final, with Sonia Bompastor’s side winning 2-1 in March 2025.
City had battled back from an early Mayra Ramirez strike and deservedly drew level through Aoba Fujino after the hour mark at Pride Park.
However, an unfortunate late own goal ultimately decided the contest.
Andrée Jeglertz’s side are brimming with confidence heading into our latest showdown, though, having gone 16 matches without defeat in all competitions.
And it’s clear to see the players are relishing the challenge of Chelsea, with plenty of smiles accompanying the high intensity at training.
