Arsenal Women will host Brighton & Hove Albion in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup quarter-finals after the draw confirmed another home tie at Meadow Park as the club continue their pursuit of a 15th title.
The holders booked their place in the last eight with a 3-0 victory over Bristol City on Sunday, a match that saw Kim Little score in a second successive FA Cup game, alongside goals from Victoria Pelova and Frida Maanum.
That result secured progression into a quarter-final line-up that also includes Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, Charlton Athletic, Birmingham City and Tottenham Hotspur, who completed the draw after defeating London City Lionesses on penalties on Monday night.
The draw, conducted live on TNT Sports and the Adobe Women’s FA Cup YouTube channel before the Spurs game, saw Arsenal pulled out as ball number eight and paired with ball number five, Brighton, confirming home advantage once again for the north London side.
The quarter-finals are scheduled to take place across the weekend of 4-5 April, with exact fixture dates and kick-off times to be finalised following broadcast selections.
Each winning side will receive £90,000 in prize money, while the defeated teams will collect £22,500 as the competition moves into its decisive stages.
The winner of this year’s FA Cup will receive £430,000 while the runners-up will receive £108,000.
