It’s a huge clash between two titans of English football and the game marks the third League Cup Final match-up involving the two sides. Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 in the 2019-20 season before Arsenal got their revenge, beating Chelsea 3-1 in last year’s final. Who will come out on top today?

Arsenal will be fired up for today’s game after their Women’s Super League title hopes were all but dashed in a crushing 3-1 defeat to Chelsea two weeks ago. Jonas Eidevall’s side are also out of the FA Cup so today’s final likely represents their only chance to win silverware this season.

On the contrary, Chelsea are still competing in all competitions and will be dreaming of winning the quadruple in Emma Hayes’ last season in charge. Victory today would set them on their way but it won’t be easy against the most successful team in Women’s League Cup history.

If the last few meetings between these London rivals are anything to go by, whoever starts the brightest should win the game.

preamble
Hello and welcome to the Continental Cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea at Molineux.
This is a huge clash between the two giants of English football, and this match will be the third League Cup final meeting involving both teams. Chelsea defeated Arsenal 2-1 in the 2019-20 season, and Arsenal got revenge by defeating Chelsea 3-1 in last year’s final. Who will come out on top today?
Arsenal, whose hopes of winning the Women’s Super League all but ended with a crushing 3-1 defeat at Chelsea two weeks ago, are fired up ahead of today’s game. Jonas Eydevall’s side are also not in the FA Cup, so today’s final is probably their only chance of winning silver this season.
On the contrary, Chelsea are still competing in all competitions and will be dreaming of winning the Quadruple in Emma Hayes’ final season as manager. Today’s win will propel them forward, but it won’t be easy against the most successful team in Women’s League Cup history.
If the last few meetings between the London rivals are anything to go by, the best player starting should win the game.
