The Subway Women’s League Cup semi-finals are being shown live on the BBC and also the WSL YouTube channel.
Both this midweek’s ties can be watched on the BBC via the Red Button, iPlayer and BBC Sport website, as well as YouTube.
Wednesday 5 February
Chelsea v West Ham United (Kingsmeadow, 7pm)
Thursday 6 February
Arsenal v Manchester City (Boreham Wood FC, 7pm)
Manchester City travel to Arsenal five days after the 4-3 home league loss to the Gunners, looking for a similar turnaround in fortunes to that which got them through to this stage of the competition.
They eliminated Manchester United in the quarter-finals just a few days after going down 4-2 to their great rivals at the Etihad.
Arsenal have reached a remarkable 10 of the 13 League Cup finals to date, winning seven of them – including the last two seasons – and twice against City.
Manchester City lifted the trophy on three other occasions, once against the Gunners and most recently in 2022 when defeating Chelsea.
Chelsea have had to settle with being runners-up all the past three years, following two successful campaigns.
For West Ham it is their first ever appearance in the last four, having come from behind to knock out Spurs in the quarter-finals.
