Chelsea Women at Manchester United: FA Cup preview, predicted XI
When it comes to availability news, Leah Galton and Hinata Miyazawa should be fit enough to go considering the two made their returns from injury against Everton in the club's previous contest. This isn't Chelsea coming off a win. United will have to encounter a side with something to prove who just lost a cup final before the break. In 2023 following the Conti Cup final defeat, the Blues scored two goals within the first 22 minutes in the next match, defeating Brighton by the score of three goals to one in the WSL.
"We’ve got so much to play for, this wasn't our only competition," the English manager Hayes explained following the defeat to Arsenal in the Midlands.
