(Reuters) - Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp believes the standard of women's football has 'gone through the roof' as a record attendance is expected when Manchester City take on West Ham United in the Women's FA Cup final on Saturday.

- Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp believes the standard of women's football has"gone through the roof" as a record attendance is expected when Manchester City take on West Ham United in the Women's FA Cup final on Saturday.

Atletico Madrid's game against Barcelona in March smashed the world record for the highest attendance in women's club soccer as 60,739 supporters turned out at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium. In Italy a league record 39,027 watched Juventus play Fiorentina in Serie A. "As for Saturday's FA Cup final, it's going to be another wonderful day at Wembley and I'm sure the fans will be there in numbers watching on."

"Manchester City are obviously the favourites, having just missed out on the title and won the League Cup this year, but I’m sure West Ham will give them a tough time," Redknapp added.
