Holders Manchester City will face fourth-tier side Ipswich in the fifth round of the Women's FA Cup.

Ipswich, the lowest-ranked team still in the competition, have been rewarded for their 4-1 victory over Huddersfield in the previous round with a trip to the Academy Stadium.

Chelsea, who are the only undefeated side in the Women's Super League, will host Liverpool.

Arsenal, currently second in the WSL, will welcome Women's Championship side Lewes to Meadow Park.

There could also be a meeting between Crystal Palace and Brighton, provided Palace win their replay against Southampton on Sunday.

The first match between the sides was abandoned, with Palace leading 3-0, due to a waterlogged pitch.

Arsenal's 2-0 win at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium puts them level with second placed Chelsea in the Women's Super League.
