Fourteen-time Women’s FA Cup winners Arsenal will host fellow Women’s Super League side Aston Villa in the fourth round of this season’s competition.

This is the stage at which the top-tier sides join the competition, with winning teams in this round receiving £54,000 from the prize fund, and £13,000 for the losers.

Defending champions Chelsea are at home to WSL2 team Crystal Palace, who beat Lewes 1-0 on Sunday.

And current WSL league leaders Manchester City have an intriguing trip to top-of-the-table AFC Bournemouth of the FA Women’s National League Southern Premier, who defeated Fulham 5-0 in the third round.

Manchester United, meanwhile, have an equally fascinating match in prospect as they will host Burnley, unbeaten at the top of the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier.

There is another all-WSL tie as well, with Tottenham Hotspur hosting Leicester City.

The draw was made at Swindon Town’s County Ground following their 3-2 comeback win over Leafield Athletic to reach the fourth round.

The ties are scheduled for Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th January 2026, with the broadcast selection to be announced at a later point.
