Here's a stat that's hard to believe...

The last time record holders Arsenal won the FA Cup was back in 2015/16, nine years ago.

Then boss Pedro Martinez Losa led the side to a 1-0 victory over Chelsea at Wembley, with Danielle Carter bagging the winning goal.

Alex Scott captained the side on the day, with the likes of Kelly Smith, Jordan Nobbs, Casey Stoney, and Fara Williams also lining up for the Gunners.

A young Leah Williamson came on as a late second half substitute as she collected her first winners medal.

The club have finished runners up twice since then, losing the 2017-18 and 2020-21 finals to Chelsea.

Current vice captain Williamson would surely love to help lead the side to a record extending 15th triumph this season.

Mary Fowler runs at Sarah Mayling, cuts the ball back onto her right foot and looks to swing the ball into the box, but she doesn't hit it correctly and it drifts away from the area instead.

Back under way at the Joie Stadium.

You need to play what the game gives you. Gareth Taylor needs to tweak it slightly. It just needs a little bit more excitement.

The teams are back out for the second half.

At least another 45 minutes of this tie coming up. If it ends level, it's extra time and penalties.

Sonia Bompastor has said that every player in the Chelsea squad needs to be ready during a busy and crucial month for the Blues.

The WSL leaders faced Brighton and Leicester City earlier this month ahead of today's FA Cup quarter-final against Crystal Palace.

They will then take on Manchester City four times in a row in the space of 12 days - starting with the League Cup final on 15 March followed by the two-legged Champions League quarter-finals and a WSL clash.

"When you come into this block [of fixtures], it's really important for your squad to be prepared," Bompastor said.

"Every player needs to realise they will all be involved because it's impossible to play every three days for one month.

"This is where it's really important for a club like us to have depth in the squad. Every player needs to realise that in some games they will be starters, finishers, or not be in the squad.

"But, they all need to be ready for that mentally."

Bompastor's side are unbeaten in 26 games across four competitions this season.

Arsenal and Liverpool hold identical records in the Women's FA Cup this season: Played- 2, Won - 2, Scored - 7, Conceded - 0.

However their league form is strikingly different: The Gunners sit third on 33 points, while Liverpool sit sixth with their tally almost half of their hosts, 18 points

Then again, the old adage of FA Cup magic could see the Reds spring a surprise at Meadow Park.

We've got two more games coming up at 14:30 GMT, with Arsenal playing Liverpool and Chelsea taking on Crystal Palace.

Let's take a quick look at those.

They've come here with a game plan and frustrated Man City. She's put an 11 out that are doing exactly what she wants. They are comfortable with defending a lot of numbers. They are exploiting a lot of areas. Aston Villa are doing everything right to go on and win this game.

Fara Williams

Aston Villa have been really comfortable. The transitions have allowed Villa to counter them at every given opportunity. Manchester City need to move the Villa players.

Here's probably the best chance of the first half, which went the way of Aston Villa.

Ebony Salmon went through on goal but Ayaka Yamashita pulled off a great save to prevent her breaking the deadlock.

The frustration among Manchester City fans has been building all half.

They are dominating possession but the passes are often going sideways.

On several occasions, the vocal fans to our right have shouted "just shoot" when the ball has been on the edge of the area.

Villa will be happier I think. Their body language was more positive when the whistle went.

D'Angelo has had hardly anything of major note to deal with. Aston Villa be exceptionally happy at half-time.

All square at the break after a goalless first half.

Natalia Arroyo with probably be happy with how her Aston Villa side have played. City started brightly, but the visitors have kept them away from dangerous chances for the most part.

It's not quite coming off for Manchester City. Jess Park sends a low cross towards the six-yard box but it's cleared.

It only goes as far as Yui Hasegawa but she can't direct her effort past the visitors' defenders.

Two minutes added at the end of the first half.

If you get your positioning wrong, you have to make a decision. She either gets past you, or her and the ball do not.

Gracie Prior goes into the book after coming in from behind and fouling Chasity Grant with a mistimed sliding tackle.

Although, on second viewing, it looks like she might have got the ball.

That's a poor corner.

Mary Fowler knocks a delivery towards the penalty box, but it soars over all of her team mates and goes out for a throw-in on the other side.
