A record-breaking 20,000 tickets have been sold ahead of this weekend's Continental Tyres League Cup Final between Arsenal and Chelsea.
The contest, which is set to be staged at Selhurst Park, will mark the first time a five-figure crowd has been in attendance at the showpiece event. The previous record attendance was recorded last season as 8,004 watched Manchester City defeat Chelsea 3-1 at AFC Wimbledon’s Cherry Red Records Stadium.
Chelsea will hope for a different outcome when they kick off against Arsenal on Sunday, with Emma Hayes' side having already knocked the Gunners out of the FA Cup this month. Both finalists only entered the competition at the knockout stages due to their participation in the UEFA Women's Champions League.
