The total eclipses last year's number of attendees that saw 49,094 fans watch Chelsea beat Manchester City to be crowned champions.

With kick-off confirmed for 14:30 BST, it has also been revealed that VAR will be used for the very first time in the women's final. 

Suffolk-based official Emily Heaslip will lead a team alongside assistant referees Georgia Ball and Chloe-Ann Small, with Abigail Byrne as fourth official and Sophie Dennington as reserve assistant referee.

Michael Salisbury has been handed the role of overseeing VAR and will be supported by assistant Sian Massey-Ellis. Goal Line Technology will also be in use at Wembley.
Skinner's side still have realistic aims of achieving both a league and cup double this season, with the Reds leading the way in WSL at present, while reigning champions Chelsea look to close the four-point gap with their two games in-hand.

Having won the Women's Championship in our inaugural season back in 2018/19, United now have a chance to add to our trophy cabinet as we continue our growth within the women's game.
