Holders Arsenal to face Chelsea in FA Women's Cup quarters

Monday 23 Mar 2015
Chelsea and Arsenal will meet in the last eight of The FA Women's Cup

The holders take on last year's beaten semi-finalists after Arsenal were drawn to face Chelsea in the FA Women's Cup quarter-finals.

Thirteen-time winners Arsenal will play host to Emma Hayes's side, knowing that the winning team will be just one victory away from a Final at Wembley Stadium.

The pair met in last year's final four, with the Gunners prevailing 5-3 after extra-time, thanks to late goals from Shinobu Ohno and Casey Stoney.
