It will be Westfield Matilda against Westfield Matildas when Chelsea take on West Ham in the first semi-final. Mackenzie Arnold and Emily van Egmond will face Sam Kerr on Thursday, February 4th at 4:00am AEDT. 

 

These sides have already played in the FA WSL once this season with the Blues coming away with a 3-2 win. Kerr had a field day, scoring all three of Chelsea's goals to record her first hat trick for the club.

Chelsea currently sit atop the FA WSL table and are undefeated in their last 14 matches in all competitions. While West Ham sit in 10th with a mixed bag of results. 

Bristol City will host FA Women's Championship side Leicester City on Thursday,  February 4th at 6:30am AEDT in the other semi. The Robins will be without Chloe Logarzo who has moved to NWSL outfit Kansas City for the 2021 season.
