Defending women's FA Cup champions Chelsea Women face a mouthwatering showdown with Arsenal Women in the semi-finals of the 2021-22 tournament.

Defending Women's FA Cup champions Chelsea Women will face a mouthwatering showdown with Arsenal Women in the semi-finals of the 2021-22 tournament, while Manchester City Women will meet West Ham United Women.

Emma Hayes's side made it through to the last four after putting five unanswered goals past Birmingham City Women in the quarter-finals and have been rewarded with a tie against the side they swept aside in the final of last year's tournament.

In a repeat of the 2021 showpiece event, Arsenal - who are two points clear of the Blues in the Women's Super League table having played a game more - will face Chelsea after thrashing Coventry United Ladies 4-0 on Friday.

Man City progressed to the semi-finals alongside the men's team with an equally dominant 4-0 victory over Everton Women, with Lauren Hemp netting twice en route to the final four.

Meanwhile, West Ham needed Lisa Evans's effort to make it past third-tier Ipswich Town Women in Sunday's quarter-final and have been rewarded with a tie against City, whom they lost to in the 2018-19 final.

The semi-final ties are due to take place on April 17 before the final kicks off at Wembley Stadium on May 15.
