The game keeps growing…

As mentioned above, this will be the first meeting between the two in a finals scenario.

Both have made exceptional strides in women’s football, both achieving promotion to England’s top flight in the 2019-20 season.

Since then, the two have been trying to find their place in a league dominated by Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal.

If this is anything to go by, it shows that the gap between them and the WSL’s best is narrowing every year.

Tottenham arrives at Wembley

The north London side have their eyes set on winning Tottenham’s first major trophy in recent years.

Spurs captain Bethany England spoke to Mail Sport’s Kathryn Batte about Tottenham’s trophy angst ahead of today’s game.

England said delivering a first silverware for Spurs would be incredibly special.

I would occupy a very high position because I would feel that I have been part of something that I have been able to grow. When I arrived at Chelsea they were already champions, they were a winning team. To be able to bring that kind of mentality to Tottenham and try to lift the team with it would be fantastic. “If it happens, I think I’d probably be a little speechless.”
