    Man City v Chelsea (12:45 GMT)

    This is how this tie has panned out in recent years...

    Chelsea have prevailed in three of their previous four semi-finals.

    It's worth pointing out that the home side has won on each occasion so far.

    A good omen for City today?

    Man City v Chelsea (12:45 GMT)

    I started the live with just a few images from previous semi-final meetings between these two sides.

    While personnel has changed over the years, this is one game that both clubs savour.

    In her pre-game press conference, Chelsea boss Emma Hayes said "it's the game that top players want to play in".

    Oh, and Hayes herself is relishing yet another meeting.

    "I always love these games against City, they are always epic," she told the BBC.

    Yep, it's that time of year again. No, not Halloween and all the ghosts and ghouls that go with it.

    It's Women's FA Cup semi-final time... which inevitably means we are treated to a Manchester City v Chelsea showdown.

    For the fifth time in seven years these two English football powerhouses find themselves facing off for a place in the Wembley final.

    If past meetings are anything to go by, this one should be a cracker... (fitting, considering it's Bonfire Night in a few days!)
