Arsenal vs Man United: League Cup preview
These teams have already met twice in the WSL this season, in September and again earlier this month - with both encounters ending in goalless draws.
Fans will be hoping for more action tonight, especially with a place in the final at stake. Unlike the league meetings, there must be a winner tonight in the semi-final, with extra time and penalties to follow if the sides cannot be separated after 90 minutes.
Both teams are dealing with notable absences. Arsenal will be without Lionesses captain Leah Williamson, who misses out with a calf injury, while Manchester United remain without Ella Toone, sidelined since late December with a hip problem, and Fridolina Rolfo who is not yet back to full fitness.
With both clubs competing in the Champions League this season, they entered at the quarter-final stage and need just three victories to lift this trophy - and tonight represents the second step on that path.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Arsenal 1-2 Manchester United
Manchester United may just want it more on the night. With silverware firmly in their sights, Marc Skinner's side could take another step forward and topple Arsenal in what promises to be a hard-fought semi-final.
