Everton Women vs Manchester City Women, 2.30pm Wembley Stadium
The Women’s FA Challenge Cup Competition is the top annual cup tournament for women’s clubs in English football. Founded in 1970, it has been named the WFA Cup, FA Women’s Cup and now Women’s FA Cup.
The last time Everton won the prestigious competition, Natasha Dowie was scoring the winning goal in the 119th minute to break the hearts of Arsenal players and fans alike. After winning the competition in 2010, Everton have qualified only once for the final, finishing as runners-up to, coincidentally, Arsenal in 2014. Toffee fans will recognize several names from the team that was handed defeat six years ago, as Danielle Turner and Gabby George both started the match, while Simone Magill was subbed on in the 71st minute.
Manchester City, who are the current FA Cup Champions, have enjoyed recent success in the competition, winning twice in the past three years (2017 and 2019). In the 2017 Final, City eased to a 4–1 victory over Birmingham, and last season a spirited West Ham bunch failed to challenge the Citizens in a 3–1 victory for Gareth Taylor’s side.
Predictions:
Man City Win @4/9
Man City Win BTTS @19/10
