A year ago, playing in an FA Cup final was something Manchester City forward Chloe Kelly could only dream of after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

However, after 11 months on the sidelines, the 24-year-old has now returned to the pitch "hungry" for success and still hopeful of making a late claim for a place in the England squad at this summer's Euros.

She will have the chance to impress on the biggest stage on Sunday as City look to claim their second trophy of the season against holders Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

"There's not a team in the league that can match our footballing ability," Kelly told BBC Sport. "I think the way we play is brilliant and that's why I love playing here at Manchester City."

I got to Wembley Way at 11am this morning and it was already packed with people.

Aside from the world-class players on show, a potential record crowd and the chance for a domestic double for both sides, I think it was the FREE pies a van was giving out that drew everyone here.

I may or may not have got one.

Manchester City are three-time winners.

2017 - beat Birmingham 4-1

2019 - beat West Ham 3-0

2020 - beat Everton 3-1 (a.e.t)

Since losing 1-0 to Chelsea in February, City have won 13 straight games in all competitions - a run that includes March's League Cup final win over Sunday's opponents.

In the league they claimed the final Champions League spot, finishing third, above Manchester United, despite a torrid start to the season.

Last November, after a 4-0 defeat by Chelsea, City sat in ninth place, a distant 12 points off the top.

It has been a remarkable turnaround and now the the three-time-FA-Cup-winners can move one clear of opponents Chelsea in the record books if they secure a fourth title.

The North West outfit have won three of the past five FA Cups and have never lost an FA Cup final.

Chelsea are aiming to lift the trophy for a second consecutive season, after they beat Arsenal in the final for last year's competition.

Victory five months ago handed the Blues their first domestic treble, joining the WSL title and League Cup they had won in 2020-21 to wrap up a dominant campaign.

Should Emma Hayes's side triumph this season, they will have won five of the past six domestic trophies on offer.

In this league campaign they beat City 1-0 at home in February and 4-0 away last November, although that latter match took place when Gareth Taylor's team was plagued with injuries.

Chelsea have been sensational in the WSL this campaign, winning 18 of their 22 fixtures, including their past nine in the top flight.

We started in September, 417 teams have played 399 games in this season's FA Cup and now just two remain.

Smith, Dowie, Carter, Ji, Kerr, Stanway. Who will add their names into FA Cup folklore this afternoon?

Chelsea are aiming for the double. Manchester City want a domestic clean sweep. Let's get this party started.
