Chelsea will discover the first opponents in our defence of the Adobe Women's FA Cup when the fourth round draw takes place tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.
The Blues are the reigning champions after overcoming Manchester United in last season’s final at Wembley.
Sam Kerr’s second-half strike proved the difference that day, as Chelsea celebrated a third successive FA Cup triumph and the fifth of Emma Hayes’s trophy-laden tenure.
Clubs that have progressed through the third round of this year's competition will be joined by teams from the Barclays Women’s Super League in round four. The draw takes place tomorrow morning at 9.30am (UK time).
The Blues have been allocated ball number five in the draw, which will be broadcast live on the official @AdobeWomensFACup Instagram channel, in collaboration with the Counter Pressed Podcast.
There are 32 teams involved with 16 ties to be drawn for the fourth round, which will take place on Sunday 14 January 2024.
On route to winning the competition last season, we faced WSL opposition at every stage in the shape of Liverpool, Arsenal, Reading, and Aston Villa, before edging the showpiece final against Manchester United at Wembley in May.
We will begin the defence of our crown in our first game of 2024.
