This year’s FA Women’s Cup is already proving to be no different, with some of the top clubs facing off against lower league opposition in the early rounds. Here are five FA Cup matches that could deliver a huge upset this season:
-
Chelsea v Aston Villa: This match will see last year’s FA Cup finalists pitted against each other. Chelsea are the favourites to win, but Aston Villa have upset more than their fair share of FA Cup giants in recent years and could cause a huge shock if they can get the better of the Blues.
-
Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland: Sunderland are on an impressive FA Cup run this season, while Spurs will be looking to gain revenge for last season’s FA Cup semi-final defeat.
-
Arsenal v Bristol City: Arsenal are one of the FA Women’s Super League’s most successful teams and are currently top of the FA Cup table, while Bristol City have flown under the radar in recent years.
-
Manchester City v Brighton & Hove Albion: This FA Cup match is a classic battle between the FA Women’s Super League heavyweights and an up-and-coming FA Women’s Championship side. Manchester City are favourites to win, but Brighton have already caused one FA Cup upset this season against Birmingham City.
-
Liverpool v Reading: This match will be an FA Cup classic between two FA Women’s Super League sides who are both vying for their first FA Cup title. With Liverpool looking to make a push for FA Cup glory and Reading desperate to cause an FA Cup upset.
These five FA Cup matches all promise to be thrilling encounters that could provide plenty of FA Cup drama. With the FA Women’s Cup set to deliver some fantastic matches between top sides and lower league opposition.
