Chelsea boss Emma Hayes
CAMDEN-born coach Emma Hayes will tackle her old club once again this season after Women’s FA Cup holders Chelsea were paired against Arsenal in the fifth round.
It’s a repeat of last season’s final, when the Blues beat their London rivals 3-1.
Both teams sailed through their fourth-round ties on Sunday. Second-half goals from Drew Spence and Hannah Blundell saw Chelsea seal a 2-0 win at Everton, while Arsenal won 4-0 at fourth-tier Crawley courtesy of a hat-trick from 16-year-old Ruby Grant and a strike from Kim Little.
The capital cup clash will take place at Chelsea’s Kingsmeadow Stadium on Sunday, February 17.
