Emma Hayes makes Chelsea 'advantage' admission ahead of sold-out FA Cup Final vs Man Utd

Emma Hayes has admitted it "means everything" for her Chelsea side to be contesting the Women's FA Cup Final at a sold-out Wembley Stadium this weekend.

The Blues will go head to head with Manchester United on Sunday afternoon, with both teams vying to keep their hopes of a domestic double alive. Just a point separates the sides in the Women's Super League table, however Chelsea have plenty of experience on the Wembley stage, having triumphed in the Final for the last two seasons.

The FA confirmed last week the showpiece fixture had sold out for the first time in the competition's history, with last year's record attendance of 49,094 set to be obliterated. And Hayes believes this is a watershed moment for the women's game.
