The road to the Final
Both Chelsea and Manchester City entered the competition at the quarter-final stage due to their participation in the UEFA Women's Champions League. The Cityzens commenced their league cup journey against rivals Manchester United, coming out on top of the clash with a 2-1 victory.
As for the Blues, the English champions flew past Championship side Durham, winning 5-0 at Kingsmeadow Stadium. Sonia Bompastor's side then came up against a headstrong West Ham outfit in the semi-finals, but ultimately managed to get the job done with a 2-0 win.
Man City left it late in their quarter-final meeting with Arsenal, and were forced to shake off the ghosts of fixtures past after losing 4-3 to the Gunners just four days prior. Mary Fowler was the hero on the night, giving City the 2-1 lead with the final kick of the game to secure the side's spot in the grand finale.
The two sides last met in the League Cup final back in 2022, when Man City claimed a 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Wimbledon's Plough Lane.
