The Blues have the chance to lift the maiden trophy of the season at Derby County's Pride Park this afternoon as we go in search of our first Women's League Cup since 2021.

Hannah Hampton retains her place in goal for the Blues, as do captain Millie Bright, centre-back partner Nathalie Bjorn and left-back Sandy Baltimore, with Lucy Bronze in on the right.

Erin Cuthbert is joined in the middle of the pitch by the returning Sjoeke Nusken, with Johanna Rytting Kaneryd also back in and joining Lauren James and Catarina Macario in the attacking positions, as Mayra Ramirez replaces Aggie Beever-Jones to lead the line once more.

As for our opponents Manchester City, interim boss Nick Cushing has only made one change to their XI, as Japan international Aoba Fujino returns from a foot injury to replace Jess Park.
