Chelsea v Manchester City – In Numbers | OneFootball

Chelsea and Manchester City will contest the last piece of domestic silverware of the 2021/2022 season on Sunday when the pair meet at Wembley in the Vitality Women’s FA Cup final.

The two sides have already contested this season’s FA Women’s Continental League Cup final with The Cityzens running out 3-1 winners at AFC Wimbledon’s Cherry Red Records Stadium in March.

Ahead of the two clubs’ latest meeting, FAWSL Full-Time have taken a look at the facts and figures as we summarise Chelsea v Manchester City ‘in numbers’.
