We welcome the Londoners to the Joie Stadium on Wednesday 21 January for a 19:00 (UK) kick-off, with a place in the League Cup final against Arsenal or Manchester United up for grabs.
City come into the tie on the back of a 16-match unbeaten run stretching back to the opening day of the WSL season, though that last defeat came at the hands of Sonia Bompastor’s side.

But Greenwood feels we go into our League Cup semi as a different team to the one who were beaten at Stamford Bridge, after four months of development under Andrée Jeglertz.
Speaking ahead of the game, our captain said: “I do believe this team’s come a long way since then [the opening day].
“Winning football matches creates confidence and builds momentum, and I think tactically and technically we’ve learned more about Andrée’s style of play and what he expects from us.
“We’ve worked together more as a team on the grass, and you’ve seen that flourish a lot more in those recent games.
“So, I think from our perspective, it’s just how I always like to look at it, is we’ve improved massively since that game.”
Greenwood, however, is under no illusions around the challenge we’ll face at the Joie Stadium.
A repeat of the 2025 final, Chelsea come into the tie as the League Cup holders having won a domestic treble last season and earned their spot in the semis with a 9-1 win over Liverpool.

City go into the tie brimming with confidence but know we’ll need to be at our best.
“It’s always a challenge playing against them,” Greenwood added.
“I think at this stage of the competition you always expect to play a team like Chelsea.
“Sometimes you never know what you’re going to get from Chelsea as individually they’re top players. We’re expecting a tough game.
“But we’re playing really well right now, and we go in [to the game feeling] really confident.”
