The Women's FA Cup semifinals kick off with a high-stakes clash between Chelsea and Liverpool at Kingsmeadow. Chelsea, unbeaten domestically this season, are chasing a historic quadruple, having already secured the Women's League Cup and leading the Women's Super League. Liverpool, under interim boss Amber Whiteley, are riding high after their stunning quarterfinal victory over Arsenal.

Whiteley remains confident, stating, "We have shown against the top teams that we can compete. If we perform on the day, I honestly believe that we can beat anyone in front of us." Liverpool's recent form against Chelsea, including a 4-3 triumph last season, adds intrigue to this matchup.

City, led by interim boss Nick Cushing, are hoping the FA Cup can salvage their season after a disappointing league campaign. United, the defending champions, are aiming to cap off an impressive season with another FA Cup triumph.

United boss Marc Skinner emphasized the importance of living in the moment, saying, "I want us to enjoy the pressure of this situation. We currently are the holders. Let's try and maintain that." With both teams having secured a win against each other this season, this derby promises to be a thrilling encounter.
