Arsenal will host rivals Manchester City in the headline clash of the Women's FA Cup fifth round.

Three-time winners City cruised into the last 16 with a 4-0 victory at Championship outfit Durham, while Arsenal — the most successful team in the competition's history with 14 triumphs — secured progression with a 5-1 thrashing of Watford.

The Women's Super League title challengers have already contested one close battle this season, with the Gunners winning 2-1 in the top flight last November courtesy of a late Stina Blackstenius goal.

Defending champions Chelsea, looking to lift the FA Cup trophy for a fourth consecutive season, will host second-tier Crystal Palace.

Emma Hayes' side earned a place in the fifth round with a 3-1 comeback victory over West Ham, with Mia Fishel, Erin Cuthbert and Aggie Beever-Jones on the scoresheet for the Blues after Viviane Asseyi's opener.

Elsewhere, Manchester United will travel to Southampton after their 5-0 win against Newcastle at Leigh Sports Village and Tottenham host Charlton in another London derby.

Chelsea first won the Women's FA Cup in 2014-15

The Red Devils are aiming to go one better this term after losing in last season's final, with a 68th-minute goal from Chelsea star Sam Kerr condemning Marc Skinner's side to a 1-0 defeat at Wembley.
