Chelsea and Arsenal Women's FA Cup opponents confirmed as fourth round draw made

Women's Super League sides Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham have discovered their opponents for the fourth round of the Vitality Women's FA Cup.

The draw took place on Monday evening with fixtures set to take place on the weekend of January 28/29. 45 teams were included in the draw, as opposed to the usual 32, given 13 of the third round fixtures were postponed over the weekend due to the adverse weather conditions.

Holders Chelsea, who beat Manchester City in the final earlier this year, will welcome WSL rivals Liverpool. The Merseyside club overcame the league winners 2-1 in their opening game of the season courtesy of two penalty goals from Katie Stengel.
