Chelsea v Arsenal: Women's FA Cup fifth round – live!

The teams are out on the pitch and there are plenty of people in the stands. Should be a good one.

Team news reminder:

Chelsea: Berger, Blundell, Bright, Ingle, Carney, Ji, England, Eriksson, Andersson, Cuthbert, Spence

Subs: Lindahl, Cooper, Kirby, Carter, Asante, Riley, Bachmann

Arsenal: Peyraud-Magnin; Arnth, Quinn, Mitchell; McCabe, Bloodworth, Little, Veje; Van de Donk, Mead, Miedema

Subs: Van Veenendaal, Williamson, Kuyken, Evans, Hazard

It’s a lovely day in London. Mild and sunnier, the only potential problem will be for goalkeepers as the sunshine is pretty bright out at there at the moment.

These two sides met in the final last year, which shows how big an occasion this will be today. Whoever wins today will be one of the favourites to lift the trophy. Chelsea eased to a 3-1 victory in May, so there is more reason for Arsenal to be at their very best today.

The game today will be shown live on Facebook, which is a great idea to attract new audiences by making it available for free on one of the world’s most accessible platforms. The women’s game is definitely growing in England but initiatives like can only help.

Here it is … finally:

Chelsea: Berger, Blundell, Bright, Ingle, Carney, Ji, England, Eriksson, Andersson, Cuthbert, Spence

Subs: Lindahl, Cooper, Kirby, Carter, Asante, Riley, Bachmann

Here is the Arsenal team, still waiting on Chelsea to announce theirs …

Arsenal: Peyraud-Magnin; Arnth, Quinn, Mitchell; McCabe, Bloodworth, Little, Veje; Van de Donk, Mead, Miedema

Subs: Van Veenendaal, Williamson, Kuyken, Evans, Hazard

Here’s an interview with Everton’s Willie Kirk about life in the women’s game:

Good afternoon!

It’s been a busy couple of days for FA Cup action at Kingsmeadow. Yesterday, Millwall defeated AFC Wimbledon here and now it’s hosting Chelsea against Arsenal.

It’s been an interesting season for these two teams, with Arsenal winning 5-0 at the same venue earlier in the campaign in what was a crushing defeat for Chelsea but they did manage to claim victory in the reverse fixture.

Arsenal have a three-point advantage over their opponents in the league but Chelsea will be looking for revenge on their home patch from the loss in the league, so it should be an exciting encounter.
