Women's FA Cup final: preview
The FA Cup reaches its conclusion at Wembley Stadium this weekend, with both sides desperate to lift the trophy.
Manchester City arrive fresh from winning their first Women’s Super League title in a decade, while also boosted by the news that Bunny Shaw has committed her future to the club for at least another four years.
Andree Jeglertz has transformed this City side, who hadn't won silverware since 2022. Their last FA Cup triumph came two years earlier, and they have not returned to Wembley since.
For many of City’s players, this will be a first experience of the occasion, but Lionesses stars Alex Greenwood and Lauren Hemp know exactly what it takes to create memories under the Wembley arch.
Brighton, meanwhile, overcame Liverpool in their semi-final, to book their place in a first-ever FA Cup final. Dario Vidisic's side now stand on the brink of history.
It would be a remarkable achievement for Brighton, who finished seventh in the WSL, to topple the newly-crowned champions. But they were the last team to beat City in a dramatic 3-2 league victory a month ago, causing short-lived chaos in the title race.
Brighton's Fran Kirby is a five-time FA Cup winner with Chelsea, and her big-occasion experience could prove vital for the Seagulls who are stepping into unknown territory.
Will Manchester City complete a domestic double, or can Brighton make history at Wembley?
