Marc Skinner insists Manchester Uniteds rebels are closing the gap on Chelsea going into the Womens FA Cup final on Sunday.Wembley is expecting a 90,000 sell-out crowd a record for a womens domestic club match for the showdown between the top two teams in the Womens Super League.United hold a one-point lead over Chelsea but Emma Hayes side have a game in hand and, with three WSL matches to play, are favourites to win Jordan Berry Jersey a fourth consecutive title.Chelsea also have a firm hold on United with six succe sive victories against the Red Devils, including a potentially decisive 1-0 home win in March the only time Skinners side have failed to score in 28 games this season.Skinner said: We are getting closer. We Dan McCullers Jersey remember the Chelsea game last time and Im absolutely convinced and we have got VAR this time we should have had two penalties and you might be talking about the title race differently.Theres no doubt in my mind that if you want to pick a favourite then Chelsea should be put on that mantle because theyve done this before.But the reality is we have a team of rebels and that might not be the fact on Sunday. Single game, single focus, and we will try to accept all the psychological challenges and manage and adapt the best we can. We are there to Dermontti Dawson Jersey try and win it.Chelsea have been in fine form since bowing out of the Champions League at the semi-final stage to Barcelona.They have beaten Liverpool, Everton and Leicester to narrow the gap on United and scored 15 goals in the proce s.Im sure the coaches of Leicester and Everton will be disappointed with the mistakes in those games that made it a little bit easier for Chelsea to score those (13) goals, said Skinner, who has labelled Blues top scorer Sam Kerr a machine.But they did score them and they are deadly. Weve got to make sure we keep that to a minimum.Chelsea create chances in Stephon Tuitt Jersey every game they play, so weve got to hurt them at the other end.If we do that, and play to that mentality, then its going to be a really exciting game.We know we can beat Chelsea and thats not saying were going to beat Chelsea because we know how difficult that is. Weve got to trust our proce s of play.The United team were only formed in May 2018 and this is their first final.But England Euro 2022 heroes Ale sia Ru so, Ella Toone and Mary Earps, as well as Norwegian midfielder Vilde Boe Risa, have won every single final they have played in.Toone also scored against Brazil in the 2023 Womens Finali sima last month, which England won on penalties with Earps proving a shoot-out heroine.Asked if United had practised penalties ahead of Sunday, Skinner said: Absolutely. It would be remi s not to do that. Weve been doing it over the last few weeks.Marys experience will be ma sive, but we cant win this on individuals experience. Hines Ward Jersey We have to do it as a collective, because were going to have to suffer. |
