The two sides faced off in this season's Conti Cup Final, Kerr found the back of the net for Chelsea but was unable to turn the deficit around for the Blues with Kennedy and Raso claiming their first trophy at Manchester City with a 3-1 win. 

Last season's Women's FA Cup Final, played in late December, saw Kerr score two stunning goals and pick up Player of the Match in Chelsea's 3-0 win over Arsenal. 

Both teams had a fantastic end to their WSL season, with Chelsea lifting a third consecutive WSL title, and City turning around their lacklustre start to the season with a third-place finish.
