Arsenal Women will look to defend their Conti Cup title as they face Chelsea Women at the Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton on Sunday.
The Gunners are a record six-time winners of the competition, while the Blues have lifted the trophy twice and will be looking to avenge last season's 3-1 final defeat to the north Londoners.
This is arguably the best silverware shot this season for Arsenal, who are six points behind Chelsea and Manchester City, who are separated only by goal difference at the summit of the table with five games left to play.
Chelsea, who have won the last four Women's Super League titles, are looking to finish the campaign with a flourish before Emma Hayes' summer departure to take over the US Women's national team.
The Blues will also be competing in the FA Women's Cup semi-finals, as well as the Champions League semi-finals later in the season.
