So, we’re getting close to the final and after all those nail-biting moments in the semi-finals, we’re finally going to see a new name etched on that prestigious trophy. 

The real question is, who’s going to win it? 

To figure that out, let’s take a closer look at how each team made it this far and what we might expect from the final.

This years finalists are Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

• Progressed to the semi-finals and drew to play last year’s winners Chelsea. The Red Devils beat Chelsea 2-1 for the first time in their history.

Tottenham Hotspur

This is Tottenham’s first opportunity to win a trophy. They achieved a historic feat in the semi-finals, and the team is motivated to finish the job under the Wembley arches.

Let’s look at how they made it this far,

Tottenham Hotspur’s road to the final.

• They progressed to the fifth round where they defeated Charlton Athletic 1-0.

• Spurs went on to beat Manchester City in the quarterfinals.

• Wembley calls, we will just have to see what happens next.

What can we expect?

The two teams recently met in the WSL, resulting in a 2-2 draw. If this match is any indication, we can expect a very tight game.

There are several standout players across both teams. Manchester United has Rachel Williams, Nikita Parris, Ella Toone, and others who can put in a strong performance.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur has Beth England, Martha Thomas, and more who also stand out.

It’s not just the outfield players who have talent, as goalkeepers Mary Earps and Becky Spencer have shown they have what it takes to get their team here.

So, the game is definitely one you don’t want to miss as it could go either way.
