    Man City almost pinch a goal against the run of play, as Georgia Stanway's powerful low shot from a tight angle on the left is slightly spilled by Chelsea keeper Ann-Katrin Berger, but she gathers it at the second attempt.

    Man City 0-0 Chelsea

    How close can you get?! Erin Cuthbert's low strike smacks the inside of the post and trickles across the face of the goal... So unlucky for the visitors.

    It's the second time they've hit the woodwork in the space of three minutes, after Fran Kirby headed on to the bar.

    It had appeared that Ji So-Yun was coming on for Chelsea a little while ago, but she's sat back down again. Emma Hayes has other plans.

    Fran Kirby is inches away from putting Chelsea in front!

    She connects with Erin Cuthbert's cross from the free-kick with a diving header, but it clips the top of the crossbar.

    Chelsea play some tidy stuff down their left and lay the ball off for Switzerland's Ramona Bachmann to shoot from outside the box, but she sends her effort wide.

    The visitors are on top at the moment.

    Man City 0-0 Chelsea

    Chelsea knocked Man City out of this competition at the semi-final stage in 2015, 2016 and in 2018 - the latter of those games happened exactly one year ago tomorrow.

    But today, for the first time in this sequence of semi-final meetings, it's City who are at home. Can home advantage be a factor?

    The hosts are building up a spell of pressure here...

    Caoimhe Quigley: Great to see live coverage of Women's FA Cup semi finals today. Listening to Sue Smith and remembering when I was younger hoping no other big events were taking part on final day so it would be televised.

    We aim to please, Caoimhe!

    Hammers fan Rob G: If the FA really want Women’s football to get bigger, something must be done about the scheduling of the FA Cup Final on the same day as a full Premier League schedule. I’d love to attend the final but we play at home against Southampton.

    Surely a Wembley final is better, Rob? But you make a fair point... Should the final be scheduled on a different day to the men's Premier League programme?

    There were no changes from either side at the break.

    One of these sides is less than 45 minutes away from earning a place in the Women's FA Cup final against West Ham United, who beat Reading on penalties earlier.

    Chelsea's Ramona Bachmann gets the second half started, with Chelsea in their traditional blue shirts and blue shorts, with white socks.

    It's a bitterly cold day in Manchester.

    Alex Scott
    Ex-Arsenal & England international on BBC One

    I think it's been really intriguing. Both sides have been quite cautious in terms of how many players they've thrown forward.

    With the Champions League coming up for Chelsea, I don't think Emma Hayes will want extra time.

  20. 'City have probably edged it'published at 16:22 British Summer Time 14 April 2019

    HT: Man City 0-0 Chelsea

    Sue Smith
    Former England forward on BBC One

    It's been such a close, tight game. Manchester City have probably edged it on chances. It's going to be such an interesting second half and it'll be interesting to see what changes the two managers make.
