Arsenal will play either Leeds United or Stoke City at home with the tie to be played on Sunday 29 January 2023.

Stoke City are favourites against Leeds United as they in the tier 3 (FA Women National League Northern Division) and Leeds play in the Tier 4 of the pyramid ( Fa Women’s National League Division 1 North).

Leeds United used to be one of our best competitors pre-FA WSL but were not able to find the finances to compete when the League formed in 2011.

They originally applied, but later withdrew.

There will be two BWSL clashes: Leicester v Reading, Chelsea v Liverpool.

The full FA Cup draw is:

1 Manchester City v Sheffield United or Nottingham Forest
2 Coventry United v Hashtag United
3 Arsenal v Leeds United or Stoke City
4 Liverpool Feds or West Bromwich Albion v Brighton & Hove Albion
5 Peterborough United or Durham v Crystal Palace or Watford
6 Blackburn Rovers or Sunderland v Manchester United

8 Chelsea v Liverpool
9 AFC Wimbledon or Gillingham v Charlton Athletic or Milton Keynes Dons
10 Bristol City v Oxford United
11 Burnley or Norwich City v Cardiff City
12 Everton v Birmingham City or Huddersfield Town
13 Aston Villa v Solihull Moors or AFC Fylde
14 Ipswich Town v Lewes or London Bees
15 Wolverhampton Wanderers v West Ham United
