FA Cup quarter-finals: preview

The weekend kicks off on Sunday afternoon with an all-WSL affair as 14-time winners Arsenal take on Brighton, with the Seagulls sitting three places and 17 points behind them in the league.

The Gunners are the most decorated side in this competition, but they have not won it in a decade, so will see this match up against Brighton as an opportunity to progress to the semi-finals and reignite their FA Cup history.

Their momentum is unmatched, coming into this cup tie having won 11 of their last 12 matches across all competitions, so they will be favourites in this one, but squad depth will be crucial following a mid-week Champions League tie where they were defeated 1-0 by Chelsea.

Charlton v Liverpool takes centre stage later on Sunday, with the Addicks flying in the WSL 2, leading the charge for automatic promotion.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have bounced back from a rocky first half of the season, now sitting eight points clear of bottom spot. With technically only three league places sepaating them, this should be a great match-up and will give Charlton a flavour of what life in the WSL could be like.

A London derby ensues on Easter Monday as holders Chelsea host Tottenham at Kingsmeadow. Chelsea have already won the League Cup this season but will be devasted at being knocked out of the Champions League by rivals Arsenal (update). With the WSL also looking out of reach, an FA Cup win could soften the blow to fans who have come to expect so much from this side.

Spurs come into this tie off the back of three defeats, including heavy 5-2 defeats to Manchester City and north London rivals Arsenal. There have been real signs of progress this season, and reaching an FA Cup semi-final would be an incredible statement in Martin Ho's first season. With Chelsea not at their best, they will see this as an opportunity.

Monday evening sees Birmingham City, who sit second in WSL 2 but with a game in hand that could see them go first, take on WSL champions-elect Manchester City.

This is set to be a juicy tie where Birmingham will want to show their worth and compete with the WSL's elite.

City will be strong favourites on this one, but with the magic of the cup, you never know...
