    Adams Park also hosted the final when these two sides met in the 2014 showdown, which was won 1-0 by Manchester City thanks to Izzy Christiansen's 73rd-minute goal.

    That final, like this year, came after a 1-0 semi-final win at Chelsea for Manchester City.

    Will history repeat itself this evening, or can Arsenal get the season's first major piece of silverware?
