Women’s FA Cup final, last Premier League game at Goodison Park and more – matchday live | Women’s FA Cup
Key events
Ahead of today’s Women’s FA Cup final, our very own Tom Garry sat down with Manchester United manager Marc Skinner to discuss the club’s season and today’s match at Wembley.
Today’s Women’s FA Cup final is SOLD OUT meaning we could see a competition record crowd at Wembley Stadium. Chelsea and Manchester United last met in the final two years ago, when the Blues clinched a 1-0 win thanks to Sam Kerr, who will not be available this time around. However, Marc Skinner and his team have more experience behind them now and will feel they can go toe-to-toe with the WSL invincibles.
As I mentioned before, Andy Hunter will be free to answer your questions about Everton or Goodison Park from 11am this morning. Feel free to send a message to our matchday live email address ready for Andy’s takeover.
Our photographer Tom Jenkins was at Wembley yesterday and managed to capture some incredible moments. Be sure to take a look at his picture gallery…
Yesterday was one for the history books. Crystal Palace beat Manchester City 1-0 to win their first-ever major trophy. Club hero Eberechi Eze scored the decisive goal to fire Palace to FA Cup victory at Wembley. Here’s a recap of what happened…

Preamble
Hello and welcome to matchday live! I’ll be doing my best to get you warmed up and excited for today’s football action – although I don’t think it’ll take much considering what’s in store. First thing’s first we’ve got the Women’s FA Cup final which sees Manchester United face Chelsea, with the Blues aiming to complete a domestic treble.
It’s also set to be a historic day in the Premier League, with one iconic stadium closing its doors to its men’s first team – more on that later – and one player bowing out after 500 appearances for his club.
Today marks the final Premier League matchday at Goodison Park before Everton move to the newly-named Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. Our very own Andy Hunter will be at Goodison for the occasion and he’ll be on hand to answer any questions you may have about the stadium or Everton.
Jamie Vardy will also bid farewell to Leicester City this afternoon on his 500th appearance. The striker wanted to end his time with the club at the King Power Stadium as opposed to the Vitality Stadium on the final day of the Premier League season, so he is set to receive a fitting send-off later on.
Elsewhere, West Ham host Nottingham Forest, Brentford take on Fulham and Newcastle travel south to face Arsenal.
