Rachel Yankey expects plenty of goals in today’s FA Cup final between Chelsea and Arsenal.
The Gunner, currently on loan at Notts County, is excited about a match up that sees undefeated Women’s Super League side Chelsea aiming to retain the trophy and an Arsenal side aiming for their 14th FA Cup title.
Yankey won nine with the north London side, as well as six Women’s National Premier League titles and two WSL titles and wants both teams to go gung-ho this afternoon in a bid to lift the trophy in front of 33,000 plus fans inside Wembley.
