Manchester City go into the match as favourites against West Ham, who have never won the competition and sit three places below them in the Women's Super League table.

City defender Demi Stokes, who started all three of City's FA Cup final victories, said the opportunity to play at Wembley again would be "special" but her side will not underestimate West Ham.

"We don't think like that. We prepare as if we're playing the best and we know we have to bring our best," said Stokes.

"Even though we have that pressure, we need to live up to it. As individuals we would be disappointed in ourselves if we didn't.

"We've played West Ham quite recently so that helps as we know what we're going into.

"It's always a special moment to play at Wembley. We miss out on a lot of things as a footballer so it's always nice to be there with your family. No matter how many times you get that opportunity you still get the same buzz and feeling."

Ten more minutes.

Over on the other side of the city, Manchester City's men are gearing up to take on Liverpool in their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. That game kicks off at 15:30 BST.

A double-header at Wembley with the men's and women's games all weekend anyone?

Fans of the women's team here will have to hope their team can wrap it up in normal time and get themselves to a pub, sharpish!

West Ham only have to go back to last October to recall their last win over Manchester City.

Dagny Brynjarsdottir's header and Yui Hasegawa chipping the keeper from 40 yards in added time sealed the win that day.

It was City's third consecutive defeat, as injuries plagued the start to their season.

Man City are the form team in the country right now.

But West Ham have beaten them before. This will be an interesting match-up and West Ham will cause them problems.

West Ham will bid to reach the Women's FA Cup final for the first time since 2019 when they face Manchester City this weekend - the side who beat them at Wembley three years ago.

It was a memorable day in the club's history despite the Hammers losing 3-0 as it came just months after they had turned professional, leaping up from the third division with a successful top-tier licence application.

In front of 43,264 fans at Wembley, West Ham threatened to cause a shock when they missed a big chance in the first half and went in level at the break, until City eventually pulled away.

West Ham captain Gilly Flaherty told Emma Sanders, "We did ourselves really proud.

“No-one expected anything of us going into that final. If you look at the team now to where it was back then... It's a completely different team.”

This West Ham squad have developed over the last three years. I think they will cause Manchester City problems.

They may have lost to Mancheter City recently, but this is a one-off game. West Ham will see themselves having a chance today.

It's a big game for West Ham, who lost 2-0 to Manchester City in the WSL just before the international break.

The Hammers are bidding to reach a first FA Cup final since 2019 - when they lost to City at Wembley.

The club have never won the competition having only turned professional in 2018.

City are aiming to win a fourth title. Chelsea or Arsenal will await the winner of this tie in the final.

West Ham United defeated Championship Sheffield United, fellow WSL side Reading and third tier Ipswich Town on route to the semi-finals.

In the last round against Ipswich they survived a number of scares, as Oli Harder's side went through with a 1-0 win.

Manchester City have been on fire in the cup this season. They thrashed third-third Nottingham Forest 8-0, embarrassed rivals Manchester United 4-1 and then defeated Everton 4-0 in the last round.

I make that 16 goals across their past three ties.

League form goes out the window. It is the underdog mentality, you have to believe.

You can't think about the glitz and glamour of Wembley, you have to get the job done first.

West Ham have lost back-to-back games in the Women's Super League, with their latest a 2-0 loss against, of all teams, Manchester City before the international break.

City, meanwhile, are on an eight-game winning run.

There’s also an 11 point gap between these two sides in the WSL table.

Gulp.

Good morning!

It's a lovely day in Dagenham. The teams have just come out to warm up. It's great to see Chloe Kelly starting for Manchester City. She got a big applause from the away fans when she came out.

No huge shocks in either team selection.

Where are you watching?

On your way to West Ham’s Chigwell Construction Stadium? Or are you setting up the BBQ in the back garden.

I want to hear all about it.

It's just the one change for West Ham as defender Hawa Cissoko is benched in favour of Czech Republic international Katerina Svitkova.

Three changes for Manchester City as doubts Alex Greenwood and Alanna Kennedy are fit enough to start.

Georgia Stanway, Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw and Hayley Raso all drop to the bench.

In come Laura Coombs, Chloe Kelly and Ellen White.
