Back at Meadow Park...

West Ham boss Olli Harder believes Manchester City are "setting the benchmark" in the women's game after their 4-1 win at Victoria Park on Saturday highlighted the "little details" of quality.

"[It's about] consistency and quality. It's as simple as that. You pay for those things, we know that. There's no secrets," said Harder.

"That's not to say we haven't got consistency or quality but they have it in an abundance - they are more consistent and have more quality.

"Good on them! This is the benchmark. This is where all clubs need to go to. They deserve to be in the top three. The top three will have that stranglehold until we - the rest of the league - get to that level."

It was an emotional occasion for Chloe Kelly, who was starting her first game for City since returning from an anterior cruciate ligament knee injury.

Her goal was gifted to her by West Ham defender Gilly Flaherty but it did not take anything away from what it meant to Kelly, who immediately jumped into the air, clenching her fists before being hugged by her team-mates.

"It's brilliant to be back out there with the girls," said Kelly.

"To get the goal was even better. The team were brilliant today and throughout my injury they've been brilliant. It's great to repay the faith from the manager.

"The time I spent away was a difficult period. It's so lonely in the gym, but to get a goal within the first few minutes was brilliant for me. I'm loving every minute of it. The best is yet to come from us. Now we have an FA Cup final at Wembley where we can show our talent."

While we wait for the second half, a reminder of yesterday's semi-final action:

Manchester City await these two sides in the final after booking their place in Wembley's final with victory over West Ham.

City, who last won the competition in 2020, were put under early pressure from the hosts at Victoria Road but took a 2-0 lead through Ellen White and Chloe Kelly.

Kelly's goal - her first since returning from a serious knee injury - threatened to help City pull clear but Lisa Evans gave West Ham a lifeline minutes before half-time with a composed finish.

West Ham remained competitive but Lauren Hemp confirmed victory for City with two goals in the second half - spinning away from several players before firing it into the bottom corner for her first, then drilling in a second in stoppage time.

Chelsea are missing Fran Kirby and Penille Harder. In transition, they are turning the ball over a lot, but they don't have anybody to link from back to front and that is what they bring. They need to get Ji higher because she'll do that, or we could see Harder come on.

It has been a little flat at times, but also had moments of quality. Right at the end, I thought Chelsea could have carved an opening. Chelsea have been pretty toothless up front.

It is as tight as we'd thought it would be; Arsenal started brightly, Chelsea came back into it. It'll be something extra special that wins this game.

Despite not creating any huge chances, Arsenal will probably feel slightly frustrated at half time.

They have been the better side, have got in behind Chelsea's defence a few times and have asked far more questions.

They just haven't tested goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger enough. They were also very sloppy in those final minutes before half-time and Chelsea's best attacks largely came from Arsenal mistakes.

Nope, cleared away. And that's the half.

Few chances, but the tension and atmosphere is giving us some real drama.

Another late Chelsea corner.

Poor corner. Goal kick.

Two minutes added on.

Chelsea have a corner.

Two to go.

Gotta say it, both sets of supporters have been fantastic in this sell-out.

"Arrrrrrsenal. Arrrrrsenal."

"Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea."

Strong finish to the half from Arsenal.

Beth Mead finds Kim Little wide right, and the winger's cross is only just cut out by Chelsea's Niamh Charles.

Arsenal on top again.

Five to go.

It is such an important game for both sides; the chance to reach a Wembley final. You don't want to give an inch. Maybe the game will open up in the second half once the managers have sussed each other out and made changes.

We have a save!

Chelsea defender Niamh Charles wriggles free in the Arsenal penalty area before forcing a stop from Manuela Zinsberger.

Easy save for the keeper, low down to her left.

Sophie Ingle is starting to light things up for Chelsea now. She's the go-to in midfield.

This time, a pass isn't on so she goes for the long-range effort...

...blocked by a wall of red.

Other than the opening minutes, Arsenal haven't got Foord involved down the left as much as I thought they would. They had a bit of joy early on and could have scored.

I don't want to tempt fate but,

There will be extra-time followed by penalties in this match should we need them.
