Chelsea fans who can’t make it to Manchester on Wednesday for the semi-final of the Conti Cup against United will be able to watch the game for free.

The FA has confirmed that both the Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup semis will be broadcast live on the FA Player.

The Blues reached the semi-final after knocking out Aston Villa 3-1 at Kingsmeadow in the midweek quarter-final (pictured above) on January 15.

“We’re still unbeaten and we’re in all competitions and that’s what we’ve got to keep our focus on,” said manager Emma Hayes after the FA Cup victory over Charlton on Sunday. But looking ahead to the Conti Cup game, she added: “We need to get our recovery right and get ready for United on Wednesday.”

In the other semi, Arsenal play the holders, Man City. Both kick off at 7.30pm, with the FA Player coverage starting a few minutes before the whistle.

The winners will face each other in the final at the City Ground, Nottingham Forest’s home, on Saturday February 29. Kick-off is at 5.30pm, and the match will be live on BT Sport 1.
