Chelsea boss Emma Hayes suggested the Continental Cup final should be held at Wembley in the future, with the competition set to see a record crowd this weekend.

Hayes' side, who are in the final for a fourth year running, will look to win the season's first piece of silverware when they take on Arsenal at Selhurst Park this Sunday.

The game is close to a sell-out with over 20,000 tickets sold, a record for a women's League Cup final. The current record stands at 8,004 from last year's final between Chelsea and Manchester City.

'I want to be in the finals, for me being in these positions is why I do this,' Hayes said. 'The fact that we have a Continental Cup, I hope almost sold out, it sounds like it.

'Next time maybe it could be at Wembley and we could do even better and sell Wembley out next year as well.
