Why Chelsea missing the League Cup final would be completely unheard of | OneFootball

Chelsea face off with Manchester City in the League Cup semi final this week, with one of the top two WSL teams set for elimination.

The Blues hold a formidable record in the cup competition but Man City are closing the gap to Chelsea and fast.

Chelsea League Cup record

There has been one team that has dominated the women’s Subway League Cup in the past six years.

Chelsea have been a formidable force in the competition and they have made the final in each of the last six campaigns. The Blues have won the WSL six seasons in a row but not the League Cup.

The reigning league champions are also the current cup winners. Last year Chelsea beat Manchester City in the final, ending a three year losing run at that stage.

Only Arsenal have played in more cup finals than Chelsea have, but the Blues have won the competition just three times compared to their rivals’ seven titles.

Following six years of dominance making the final every time, Chelsea’s hot streak may finally come to an end this year.

Man City and Chelsea are dominating the league and they finally come to a head on Wednesday night.

After losing to the Blues in the final last year, City will be keen on getting revenge in the semis.

Manchester City vs Chelsea head to head record

Chelsea dominate the recent head to head record in this matchup but their time may finally be up this week.

See below for the last 10 results when Chelsea have met Manchester City.

City gaining ground on Chelsea

There has only been one winner of the WSL in the past six years, but Chelsea’s dynasty may be about to come to an end.

The Blues are six points behind Manchester City in the WSL and their rivals have been unstoppable since the first game of the year.

Chelsea beat City on the opening day and it looked like order may be resumed in the league, but the Cityzens have won all ten of their games since and Chelsea have slipped up four times.

Wednesday’s game could be huge in the context of this season, with the winners gaining momentum over the opposition.

Chelsea and City face off for the second time in the WSL in February in what could be a game that decides the title this season.
