LIVE UPDATES: Women’s FA Cup semi-final - Manchester City 2-1 Arsenal
FA Cup holders Manchester City take on 14-time winners Arsenal in a colossal semi-final tonight as they bid for a place at Wembley Stadium on November 1.
Gareth Taylor’s City side have not looked convincing in their last two games as they played out a disappointing goalless draw with Brighton in the league before scrambling past second tier Leicester City 2-1 in the last eight of the FA Cup.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have looked the polar opposite as they have been scoring goals for fun since the beginning of the campaign.
The North London side have to be considered the favourites on form, but this one really could go either way.
