Chelsea avoided the WSL's big guns in the FA Cup

Chelsea will travel to Everton in the Women's FA Cup quarter-finals as they continue their defence of the trophy.

Emma Hayes will fancy her chances against a side sitting 10th in the Women's Super League, especially after her side beat the Toffees 3-0 earlier this month.

But she will hope for a much-improved performance after seeing the Blues edge past second-tier Crystal Palace in the last round thanks to Mayra Ramirez's 81st-minute strike.

Elsewhere, Tottenham host Manchester City in a battle of two ambitious teams looking to establish themselves at the top of the game.

The Citizens beat Arsenal 1-0 in the last round thanks to Laia Aleixandri's second-half winner, while Spurs overcame Championship Charlton by the same scoreline.

Liverpool take on Leicester, who sit two places beneath them in the WSL table and will believe they can get a result on Merseyside.

Reds boss Matt Beard oversaw a 2-0 victory at London City Lionesses after a three-game winless run in the league.

The final fixture sees Marc Skinner's Manchester United head to the South Coast for a clash with Brighton.

With his team 10 points behind WSL leaders Chelsea and out of the Champions League as well as the Conti Cup, the FA Cup is Skinner's last realistic chance of winning silverware this term.

The ties will take place on the weekend of March 9-10.
