United get shot at revenge after losing final last season

Everton will travel to Liverpool to contest Cup derby
Chelsea, the holders, will host Manchester United in the Women’s FA Cup fifth round, in a repeat of last season’s final. Sonia Bompastor’s side were 3-0 winners against United at Wembley last May and they will meet again in the headline-grabbing tie of an intriguing-looking fifth round, which includes four all-WSL fixtures with just 16 teams left in the competition.
Also included in those four ties is a Merseyside derby, with Liverpool hosting Everton, while Brighton will travel to West Ham and London City Lionesses will host Tottenham, all vying for a quarter-final spot.
