Chelsea to face Arsenal in fifth round of Women's FA Cup
Monday 4 February 2019 20:16, UK
Defending champions Chelsea will take on Arsenal in the fifth round of the Women's FA Cup, in a rerun of last year's final.
Ramona Bachmann scored twice and Fran Kirby was also on the scoresheet at Wembley last May as the Blues claimed a 3-1 victory over the Gunners, whose goal came courtesy of Vivianne Miedema.
The teams have been paired together in the standout tie of the round, in which the fixtures have been scheduled for February 17.
Manchester City, winners of the competition in 2017, face a tricky tie at Tottenham, currently top of the second-tier Championship, while Manchester United welcome London Bees.
The inclement weather led to the postponement of eight fourth-round ties over the weekend, which have been rescheduled for February 10.
If Keynsham Town, the lowest ranked side still left in the competition, overcome Reading, then they will take on the winner of Yeovil and Birmingham.
Liverpool or MK Dons will take on Millwall or Lewes, Bristol City will play host to either Durham or Cardiff, West Ham will welcome Charlton or Huddersfield and Loughborough or Sheffield United will travel to either Stoke or Aston Villa.
