Manchester United vs Tottenham LIVE: Team news, lineups and more

Mary Earps threw down her gloves and let out a roar that banished the frustrations of a disappointing season, at least for one afternoon. Manchester United finally beat Chelsea, avenging last season’s Women’s FA Cup final defeat to Emma Hayes’ side to book their return to Wembley.

Before then, with a season on the line, the holders threw everything they had at United and Earps was forced into a string of brilliant saves, twice denying Lauren James, dragging United. It was full-time wild celebrations, but also relief and vindication. “This season has been so hard,” Earps revealed. “It was mentally brutal.”

Obviously, that wasn’t the plan. United have regressed dramatically in the Women’s Super League this campaign, dropping from second to fifth, from title challengers to 12 points adrift of the Champions League places. He brought scrutiny and dissent to manager Marc Skinner, who is out of contract at the end of the month and has hardly shown he deserves a new one, with United set to be replaced by Liverpool in the top four.

Manchester United are without Gabby George, Emma Watson and Jess Simpson, but Jayde Riviere is back from injury and could feature

Tottenham will be without midfielder Grace Clinton, who is ineligible against her parent club.

Manchester United and Tottenham meet in the FA Women’s Cup final, with both clubs looking for a first triumph in the competition.

Not since the 2005 final, when Charlton beat Everton, have they played Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester City, with opportunities aplenty for two clubs looking to secure a remarkable win.

Marc Skinner’s side were beaten in the final last year and will hope to have learned from that narrow defeat despite a disappointing WSL campaign.

Spurs, meanwhile, have enjoyed a positive first season under Robert Vilahamn and will be hoping to mark their progress with significant silverware.
