(Photo by Steve Bardens - The FA/The FA via Getty Images) | The FA via Getty Images For the fourth and last time this season, Chelsea Women and Manchester City face each other on the pitch. It’s another “cage”-like match where only one side goes through, with a spot in the Women’s FA Cup final as the reward to the winner today. Thus far it’s advantage Chelsea, although Manchester City did beat us handily last time we met them. Best to embrace for impact, because this game has everything in place to be a true thriller. **Chelsea starting lineup (4-3-3):** Hampton | Carpenter, Buurman, Buchanan, Charles | Walsh, Nüsken, Cuthbert (c) | James, Kerr, Thompson *Substitutes from:* *Peng, Spencer, Baltimore, Bronze, Sarwie, Kaptein, Potter, Kaneryd, Beever-Jones* **Manchester City starting eleven:** tba *Substitutes from:* *tba* **Date / Time:** Sunday, May 10, 2026, 15.30 BST; 10:30am EDT **Venue:**Stamford Bridge, SW6 **Referee:** Phoebe Cross **On TV:**TNT Sports 1 (UK); *none* (USA); **elsewhere** **Streaming:**HBO Max (UK); *none* (USA) Let’s do this!
