The first piece of domestic silverware this season is up for grabs and Ben Haines is joined by our Senior Women's Football reporter Emma Sanders to provide the ultimate preview to Chelsea v Manchester United in the League Cup final at Ashton Gate on Sunday 15th March.

And Em went over to Carrington to chat to Manchester United manager Marc Skinner about 'not fearing' their opposition, new singing Lea Schuller about how she's settling in and goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce on reaching another final with the club.
