Preview

With the dust only just settling on the international break, the Women's FA Cup returns on Saturday with West Ham hosting Manchester City in the first semi-final.

The Hammers are not in the greatest form going into this contest, having lost their last two matches in the Women's Super League.

They also scraped past Reading and Ipswich in the previous two rounds of the FA Cup, edging both games 1-0, and they are likely to be on the back foot against City.

The visitors, who are on an eight-game winning run and have thumped Manchester United and Everton in this competition, are well-fancied at 1-10 to come out on top but punters should not expect them to blow away the Hammers.

The Londoners will be pleased to have home advantage and they kept things fairly tight when these teams met in the WSL a fortnight ago, limiting the damage to a 2-0 defeat.

City are also still missing creative influence Vicky Losada so backing under 2.5 goals at odds-against could be the way to go.
