FA Cup

The Vitality Women's FA Cup sixth round proper draw will be live on the One Show with Gilly Flaherty making the draw.

Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic should be fit and available for the FA Cup clash with Leeds on Tuesday.

"We know what type of support they have and it will be a proper cup tie in my opinion with two good teams. Right now nothing will disturb our focus on the FA Cup match," the Fulham boss said. "But of course if you have all of them you are stronger and playing with our best goal-scorer right now we can be stronger.

Roberto De Zerbi believes Lewis Dunk is one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League and is surprised he hasnt be approached by a top club.

"But for me, the argument is closed. "We will see tomorrow or the next days. Seagulls captain Dunk is in line to reach the milestone of 400 appearances for Brighton in Tuesday evening's FA Cup fifth-round tie at Stoke.

Javi Gracia has no intention of sacrificing the FA Cup in his bid to keep Leeds in the Premier League, saying he wants to "live again" the experience of ...

I know he is a very good manager." I have only one experience, but that experience was something amazing for me and I would like to live it again." We are very excited."

The fifth round of the FA Cup, which runs from Feb. 28 to March 1, features eight matches in total, including Premier League side Southampton hosting lowly ...

Old Trafford has served as a fortress in the FA Cup over the years. The fifth round has been a major obstacle for Burnley over the years — the Clarets have lost each of their last six fifth-round matches and haven’t advanced to the quarterfinals since the 2002-03 campaign. Son Heung-min has been the Spurs’ go-to man in the FA Cup. These clubs last clashed in the FA Cup during the 2004-05 tournament when Paul Dickov scored in a 1-0 win in the quarterfinals. John Molinaro is one of the leading soccer journalists in Canada, having covered the game for over 20 years for several media outlets, including Sportsnet, CBC Sports and Sun Media. All eyes will be on the fourth division’s Grimsby Town, the lowest-ranked team remaining in this season’s FA Cup, when they play away to the Premier League’s Southampton at St. ET) in what will only be the second FA Cup meeting between the two clubs. Man City have won each of their previous 12 FA Cup contests against lower division clubs by a combined score of 42-8. West Ham’s previous win came in 2001 courtesy of a goal from Paolo Di Canio. Even though Brighton plays in a higher division at the moment, it hasn’t had much success against Stoke over the years. If a game is tied after 90 minutes, it goes to extra time and then a penalty shootout (if necessary) to determine the winner. 28 to March 1, features eight matches in total, including Premier League side Southampton hosting lowly Grimsby Town, who compete in the English fourth division.

David Moyes goes to Old Trafford seeking revenge against former club Man Utd; why Fulham could do with Aleksandar Mitrovic returning to put together a cup ...

The last team to do so was Wycombe in 2001. The manager has a lot of experience and did really well at Leicester and Watford. Grimsby have real hope of a scalp. The FA Cup represents the latest chance to progress in a competition against a West Ham side looking to end their own barren silverware run. That could well mean a first start for Solomon, but the Israeli could benefit further from having the club's talisman back alongside him. That's why we are going to fly there tomorrow - to do a good game and go through.

Chelsea were 2-0 winners over Arsenal in the Vitality Women's FA Cup Fifth Round, Aston Villa and Reading won on penalties.

Manchester United defeated Durham 5-0, but Vilde Bøe Risa’s opener from her free kick only arrived close to half time. Cardiff City Ladies got a goal back before half-time through Ingrid Aadland, after falling two behind at Lewes to an Ellie Mason double. Aston Villa got ahead on the break five minutes into the second half at West Ham, Kenza Dali squaring for Rachel Daly to finish.

We return from the February international break with a Vitality Women's FA Cup fifth-round tie against the reigning champions.

Our Gunners have a point to prove against Chelsea in the competition as December 2021 also saw us beaten by them at Wembley in the delayed 2021 FA Cup Final. After this fifth-round clash, we are set to face Chelsea once again in the Conti Cup final on March 5 at Selhurst Park. Our last meeting with Chelsea came in January as we hosted the Women's Super League clash at Emirates Stadium.

Goals either side of half-time for Sophie Ingle and Sam Kerr secured a 2-0 win against Arsenal to take Chelsea, the holders, into the quarter-finals.

Within 10 minutes of the restart, the hosts showed their quality again. They could have been ahead within minutes but for the brilliance of Ann-Katrin Berger, who tipped over a Frida Maanum effort. “Well done to the players, because that is a bit of a slog,” she said.

Arsenal racked up shots on target but none of it mattered as they failed to take any of the chances - with Chelsea taking the victory at Kingsmeadow to make ...

We knew we had to strengthen for the most important period of the season and we didn't." Foord, Maanum, Blackstenius and McCabe all had chances in the first half but couldn't find the back of the net. It's obvious Arsenal are missing their star strikers Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema, but Swedish international Blackstenius is looking to prove herself in the squad. Made her mark in the game from the get go with a foul on Catley then an assist for Sophie Ingle's goal. Coming back to club football after making her international debut for England in the Arnold Clark Cup, her confidence seethed onto the pitch for Chelsea. It's clear from the numerous derbies between these two teams that Chelsea have buckets of squad depth and options for Hayes to rotate her team, while Arsenal's lack of January transfer deals is showing.

Sophie Ingle and Sam Kerr struck either side of half-time to help Chelsea to a 2-0 win over Arsenal in the Vitality Women's FA Cup.

The Rooks will not be the only Championship side in the last eight, as Birmingham City came through an all-second-tier battle with Charlton Athletic with a 1-0 victory in extra-time. It took Mason just five minutes to open the scoring, before she doubled her tally just before the half hour, only for Ingrid Adland to half the deficit for the only FA Women’s National League side in the last 16. But Mason responded with her hat-trick coming just after the hour, before the Northern Ireland international added a fourth with 15 minutes to play, with Kenzie Weir and Aqsa Mushtaq added late on. They will be joined by last season’s runners-up Manchester City as they eased past Barclays Women’s Championship side Bristol City 8-1, while Barclays Women’s Super League leaders Manchester United will also be in the draw thanks to a 5-0 win over second-tier Durham. The result sends Emma Hayes’ side through to the quarter-finals for the ninth-consecutive season as they chase a third title in a row. Ingle opened the scoring midway through the first half with a sublime side-footed finish just inside the box, before Kerr doubled the lead with a calm finish after latching onto Jelena Cankovic’s through ball.

Lauren James was the architect of the opener. Chelsea goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger played her part too, producing several excellent saves to deny Frida Maanum and Katie McCabe in the opening period. Quite how Arsenal failed to score in the first half was beyond most inside Kingsmeadow.

Emma Hayes said Chelsea showed "the mentality of champions" to overcome fellow heavyweight Arsenal 2-0 in the Women's FA Cup. Sam Kerr.

That was intentional." Hayes told BBC Two: "That's the mentality of champions. "Across the team I thought it was a resilient performance and comfortable, even though we didn't have much of the ball in the second half.

Another poor display at the back has cost Arsenal their place in the FA Cup — it is becoming a worrying theme.

We give the ball away all the time in all sorts of positions. “We played City at home (Conti Cup), clean sheet. Arsenal pulled through in the end but they were not the better team. Since the start of the year, Jonas Eidevall’s team have lost one and drawn two of their three WSL games, scoring just two goals. Eidevall used a back three and City dominated much of the game, creating endless chances on both wings. It has been a tough start to 2023 for Arsenal Women.

Goals from Sophie Ingle and Sam Kerr help Chelsea to record a 2-0 win over Arsenal in the Vitality Women's FA Cup fifth round.

Arsenal were poor when in control of possession and they struggled to counter Chelsea’s aggression, ultimately looking a little flat across the pitch. James danced around defenders and played her teammate in perfectly to fire the ball into the bottom corner of the Arsenal net. She made no mistake, earning her side their second goal of the afternoon. Both sides tried to capitalise through some promising set-piece situations but the contest entered half-time with that early Ingle goal separating the sides. That being said, The Gunners’ midfield was a lot more convincing and connected than in previous weeks, albeit very disjointed at times. Both sides laid out stellar teams despite concerns of potential fatigue for some players following the international window.

But it was Lewes who took their chances on the day, cruising past Cardiff to win 6-1. Reading kept their cool and didn't falter as they won 5-4 and could give them the confidence they need to battle against relegation in the league. The last time these two sides met, Manchester City put six past the Robins only a month ago in the Continental Cup quarter finals. Reading may be near the bottom of the WSL, but Spurs hold a record nobody wants - seven-straight defeats in the league - and that showed on Sunday. [Manchester City](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/manchester-city-women-fc) annihilated Championship side Bristol City 8-1, while two of the ties went to penalties and we now have our quarter-finalists. The Gunners were let down in their performance against Chelsea without key forward players - and the difference in squad depth is showing the more they play each other.

Tyrhys Dolan (right) was part of the Blackburn Rovers side that knocked Premier League West Ham out of the Carabao Cup at London Stadium on 9 November.

He told me about [job] interviews he had planned," he says. "It was taken as we got ready to go to the Parklife Festival in Manchester. We had that love for one another," says Dolan. I'd have his back and he would have mine." Three years ago, while at Preston, he was on loan in the eighth tier of English football at Clitheroe. It feels like a weight off my shoulders." "We'd go and get food together, go to the Trafford Centre, go to house parties. "He used to light up rooms with his smile. I just want you to come home and see everyone'. But a serious knee injury in January 2018 prevented him from playing for five months and the following December he was released. "We played music and laughed all night. "I visit Jez's grave every week," says Tyrhys Dolan.

Rosedale continued to pile the pressure on and Alastair Wilkinson nutmegged a defender, driving into the box before laying it back for Aiden Taylor to curl it in to the far corner from 15 yards to make it 4-2. Rosedale piled on the pressure and great work from Jonathan Seller and Butler led to Seamer scoring an own goal. Rosedale started strongly and got a goal after 10 minutes when James Kellett showed brilliant composure to cut back and then square to Josh Butler to finish from close-range.

But they found a way, as the top sides always do, and continue their quest in all four competitions. Stina Blackstenius could well have had a hat-trick in the first half as Lia Walti pulled the strings in midfield for Arsenal. Kerr remained composed after being played through on goal and produced a perfect chip over the onrushing Manuela Zinsberger to score her 82nd goal for the club.
