Chelsea will host Arsenal in the fifth round of this season's Women's FA Cup.

The draw took place on Monday evening and was shown live on the BBC's Sportsday show.

The tie of the round comes from west London as holders Chelsea take on the most successful club in the competition's history in Arsenal.

Division One South West side Cardiff City are the lowest ranked team and only remaining National League club in the draw. The tier four outfit stunned Northern Premier Division side Burnley with an emphatic 4-1 victory on Sunday, and will now take on Lewes in round five.

Last season's beaten finalists Manchester City were 7-0 victors over Championship side Sheffield United in round four, and they have been rewarded with a trip to Bristol City.
