'I don't want to be taken for granted' - Lionesses star Lotte Wubben-Moy explains fiery motivation for seizing her chance at Arsenal ahead of Chelsea Conti Cup final showdown

The Gunners are looking to retain the Conti Cup when they take on Chelsea once again in the final on Sunday. The North London outfit won the showpiece event last year against Emma Hayes' side in a 3-1 win at Selhurst Park and reached this stage of the competition this time out with a 4-0 win over Aston Villa earlier this month. Ahead of this weekend's encounter at Molineux, Arsenal centre-back Wubben-Moy has spoken about this matchup and taking her game to new heights.

WHAT HAPPENED?

When asked about how she dealt with prolific Manchester City striker Khadija Shaw in her side's 2-1 win in the WSL in November, the England ace told <a href="https://theathletic.com/5361535/2024/03/29/lotte-wubben-moy-interview-conti-cup/?source=emp_shared_article" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>: “I’m at the stage of my career where I don’t want to be taken for granted, I want to push and (prove) I can go toe-to-toe with these players."Ahead of the Chelsea match, she said: “When I look at my trajectory as a player and the next few years, which are ultimately going to be my prime years as a centre-back, I said to myself, ‘This is yours for the taking. This is your moment. You know within you how good you are, it’s just time to show it and share it with the people around you.’ “That’s how I view football — it’s an opportunity to share and give to others. When I feel most full, empowered and emboldened to be myself, that’s when I can put out the best performances. Ultimately, that warrants respect and not being taken for granted," he continued.“Too often in the past, I’ve just ‘been there’. Knowing I can be more, and that being reflected in my performances this season, I look back but more so look forward and say, ‘How can I continue to do this and continue to build on what I know is me and is going to push me on to be the player I know I can be?’.”

WHAT LOTTE WUBBEN-MOY SAID

This is a mouth-watering clash between two heavyweights in English football. Arsenal beat Chelsea 4-1 earlier this season in the Women's Super League at the Emirates, but the Blues won the reverse fixture 3-1 at Kingsmeadow. Emma Hayes' side are going for a historic quadruple in her last season in charge and the Gunners will want to retain their title - so there is a lot to play for.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

After this final clash, Arsenal - who are third in the league behind joint-leaders City and Chelsea, return to WSL action on April 14. The Blues, on the other hand, take on Manchester United in the semi-final of the FA Women's Cup on the same date.
