Gordon gets in touch: “I am wondering if the Chelsea players will give their opponents today a guard of honour after City became WSL champions?”

Let’s see, perhaps that would only happen in an actual WSL match.

The Manchester City manager Andree Jeglertz on TNT on Khadija Shaw: “There has been speculation about our players for a long time, and her especially. They are used to handling that. We don’t speak about it inside of the group. She’s here today to play for us and win the game for us. It has not affected us.”

The big news is Khadija Shaw starts for City, as would be expected. Missing is Rebecca Knaak, with a shoulder injury sustained scoring the goal against Liverpool that placed one hand on the WSL title.

For Chelsea, Lionesses in Hannah Hampton and Keira Walsh come in though Lucy Bronze is benched.

The former Chelsea player Fran Kirby of Brighton has beem speaking after that Brighton win: “Absolutely. I don’t know. It would be great to play some of the girls I’ve played with over so many years. But, you know what, may the best team win.”

Brighton will the opponent for whomever wins at Stamford Bridge in this game.

They have beaten Arsenal and now Liverpool to get to Wembley.

And Tom’s story on Shaw’s departure:

On the champions of England, from the excellent Tom Garry.

Nineteen of City’s 58 goals have been scored by Shaw, who has been the star of the show. The focal point of the attack, she has looked unstoppable and will surely be named as the WSL’s player of the season. City have also had great weapons down the flanks, with the England winger Lauren Hemp on one side and the Netherlands right-back Kerstin Casparij surging forward on the other. They are lethal from set pieces, too, aided by the deliveries from Greenwood, whose career total of 19 WSL assists from set pieces is a record.
