Holders Chelsea beat WSL2 side Crystal Palace 5-0 on Saturday.

And on Sunday, AFC Bournemouth, who lead the third-tier FA Women’s National League Southern Premier, lost 6-0 to WSL leaders Manchester City.

And Liverpool, bottom of the WSL, got a much-needed win as they beat fourth-tier London Bees of the FA Women’s National League Division One South East by the same scoreline.

Swindon Town of Division One South West lost 10-0 to WSL2 leaders Charlton Athletic.

And Hull City of the Northern Premier lost 6-2 to WSL2 promotion chasers Birmingham City.

However, there will be representation from outside of the WSL when the fifth-round draw is made.

Chatham Town – also of the Division One South East – beat York City of Division One North 3-0. Both sides were seeking their place in the fifth round for the first time ever.
