Sonia Bompastor’s side made an impressive start to the defence of the trophy we lifted last May, defeating Crystal Palace 5-0 on Saturday.

Blues skipper Millie Bright opened the scoring before Sam Kerr struck and Guro Reiten converted a penalty during an impressive opening 45 minutes.

Kerr netted again in the second period and a goal from Alyssa Thompson rounded off our win.

That victory ensured our place in the fifth-round draw, which took place this evening, and the Blues will host Women's Super League side Manchester United.

Fifth-round fixtures will be played around the weekend of Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 February 2026. Full ticket information will follow in due course.
