Big games in this weekend's Women's FA Cup fifth round | OneFootball

The Women's FA Cup returns this weekend with eight fixtures of which four are intriguing all-WSL ties.

The remaining teams vary from holders Chelsea to fourth-tier Chatham Town – one of only two teams outside of the top two leagues remaining in the competition.

Indeed, it is Chatham Town who feature in the first game of the weekend on Saturday, away to ambitious Birmingham City. The WSL 2 side have new investors in the women's team – including former player, Karen Carney – and will be the strong favourites to progress to the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile Sunday treats us to three-all WSL games. Struggling West Ham United will host Brighton & Hove Albion (with the Hammers defeating the Seagulls 3-2 in the league earlier this month) which is followed by one of three Manchester United against Chelsea clashes for the remainder of the season, which is also of course a repeat of last year's final. 

The late kick-off also sees a Merseyside derby with Liverpool hosting Everton The last time the two sides faced off in this competition the Reds enjoyed a 4-0 win although the Toffees have won in the last three league meetings between the two.

Elsewhere, top-of-the-league Manchester City will be expected to progress past second-tier Sheffield United as will Arsenal when they host Bristol City. Meanwhile third-tier Oxford United welcome Charlton Athletic who are currently top of the WSL 2 by nine points.

If that wasn't enough to whet your appetite, Monday treats us to London City Lionesses hosting high-flying Tottenham Hotspur, who put seven past Aston Villa last time out. The Lionesses have won just twice in their last eight games in all competitions but the FA Cup is a chance for Eder Maestre's side to impress

Winners of this weekend's ties will head to the quarter-finals to be played in early April.
