Arsenal Ladies take on Everton Ladies in the FA Women's Cup final at stadiummk on Sunday afternoon.

It will be the club's 14th appearance in the showpiece and they will be looking to win the competition for the 13th time.

We take a look back at the previous 12 finals where the Gunners have emerged victorious.

FA WOMEN'S CUP FINAL 1993
Arsenal 3-0 Doncaster Belles
The club's first win in the competition was 21 years ago when goals from Michelle Curley, Naz Ball and Debbie Bampton saw off Doncaster Belles at the Manor Ground in Oxford. It was a springboard for future success as Arsenal went on to complete a league and cup double that season before retaining their league crown the following year.
