    Just minutes away from full-time now.

    Chelsea have left the Manchester City fans in total silence.

    Another corner from the left.

    This one creates a bit more panic.

    After bobbling about, the ball falls for Bethany England on the left. She has an almighty swing of the boot, but Karima Taieb deals with it easily.

    Chelsea have been under pressure in this second half but their central defensive partnership of Millie Bright and Aniek Nouwen have been superb, with goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger looking calm and composed.

    Boss Emma Hayes is 10 minutes away from having a chance to guide Chelsea to their third FA Cup final success after she led them to glory in 2018 and 2015.

    Time is running out for Manchester City and Chelsea are closing in on a Wembley showdown with either Arsenal or Brighton on Sunday, 5 December.

    Chelsea with a corner...

    It is an inswinger that finds Bethany England at the front post. She gets a good flick on it, but it's harmless.

    Ten to go. Chelsea have taken the sting out of this game after Man City were piling forward in search of response.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 78 mins

    And anther change.

    Is this an indication that Emma Hayes wants to protect the 2-0 advantage?

    Fran Kirby is replaced by Niamh Charles.

    They will not. Chelsea play it short and just slow the tempo of the game down.

    Man City 0-2 Chelsea

    Drew Spence tries to force her way right through the heart of Manchester City's defence. She is fouled in the process.

    Will Chelsea put this one into the mixer?

    Fifteen minutes is a long time in football.

    City just need to pick their moments.

    Just 15 minutes remaining.

    If Manchester City are going to keep their hands on the Women's FA Cup, it's going to take one heck of a comeback now.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 73 mins

    Man City 0-2 Chelsea

    Emma Hayes opts for a double substitution now.

    Drew Spence is on for Melanie Leupolz and Guro Reiten is replaced by Jessie Fleming.

    Man City 0-2 Chelsea

    Manchester City are desperate to pull a goal back and set up a tense finish to this semi-final.

    Space opens up for Laura Coombs to have a go. Her dipping shot, however, is easily collected by Ann-Katrin Berger.

    Caroline Weir with a excellent run for Manchester City. She had Chelsea backtracking at pace.

    She lifts a wonderful cross in for Ellen White, but Chelsea deal with it.

    The ball, however, breaks nicely for Vicky Losada just outside the area. She has a crack, and it is deflected over.

    Just over 20 minutes left for Manchester City to keep their FA Cup hopes alive. They need a goal quickly and the crowd at the Academy Stadium, including a near non-stop drummer, have gone quiet.

    Lauren Hemp is trying to spark the game back into life, but twice fired well wide after doing well to create the space for shots.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 67 mins

    Manchester City with another change now.

    Vicky Losada is back from injury and replaces Keira Walsh.

    Manchester City sending warning shots in from distance. Caroline Weir is the latest to send one wide.

    Brilliant build-up play from Chelsea.

    Erin Cuthbert spots Guro Reiten in space on the left. The Norwegian tries drill a low cross in for Bethany England, but Jill Scott is there to clear. It would have been a tap-in finish.

    Alex Greenwood is spraying excellent passes all over the place right now.

    This latest beauty finds Lauren Hemp. She zigs and zags as she tries to find space to shoot. She eventually lets rip and it is a tame effort across goal.

    Caroline Weir does well to direct a corner to the near post back to Lauren Hemp.

    The ball sits up nicely for her to shoot, but Hemp slices it wide. Great chance.
