Andrea Bell's Nottingham Forest face Millwall in the fourth round

Nottingham Forest striker Andrea Bell is relishing the chance to cause an upset against Millwall Lionesses in the fourth round of the SSE Women’s FA Cup.

The London club may ply their trade in FA WSL 2, a league above Forest, who are in the FA Women’s Premier League Northern Division, but Bell insists they will not be fearing their opponents.

“It will obviously be a challenge for us,” said Bell, who played in her side’s third-round win at local rivals Derby County.

“They're in the league above, but we'll be up for that challenge. We'll prepare as we do for any other game.

“We'd rather it have been at home, but we'll go down there and give it our best shot, and we look forward to hopefully getting into the next round when the bigger teams come in.”

The fourth-round ties will be played on Sunday 19 February as the remaining 12 teams look to take a step closer to Wembley where The Final will be played for the third year running.

Other eye-catching fourth-round ties include a Midlands derby between Aston Villa and Coventry United as well as an all-Yorkshire clash between Sheffield and Doncaster Rovers Belles.

Elsewhere Durham host Everton, West Bromwich Albion take on Leicester City and FA WSL newcomers Brighton face a trip to Tottenham Hotspur.

Bell added: “Coventry and Villa is a tie that sticks out. That will be a big Midlands derby.

“Coventry are going well in their league at the moment and Villa are a good side, so that will be an interesting tie.

“The match between Sheffield and Doncaster looks good as well – that will be a great Yorkshire derby.

“They are in the same league now, so that will be another interesting one for everyone.”

The Final will be played at Wembley Stadium connected by EE for the third year running.
