    London Bees' best season to date came in 2016 when they reached the semi-finals of the Women's League Cup, knocking out Chelsea on the way.

    After beating Watford 2-0 in the preliminary round, they were drawn at home against Chelsea, who had won the FA Cup and the league title in the previous season.

    Deanna Cooper scored in extra time to level the game at 3-3 and take the first-round tie to a penalty shootout.

    Karen Carney and Ji So-Yun missed penalties for the Blues before Merrick Will slotted home the all-important kick to send the then second-tier Bees through.

    They then beat Sheffield 2-0 before their run ended in the hands of Birmingham City in the semis.

    Exeter City 1-4 Sunderland

    Championship side Sunderland are dominating in Devon as they lead Exeter 4-1 at the break.

    Two goals apiece from Sunderland's Ellen Jones and Eleanor Dale keep their side ahead despite Demi Lambourne being the busier of the two goalkeepers.

    Can Exeter come back and build on that penalty from Sarah Stacey?

  4. 'We deserve to be here'published at 13:58 Greenwich Mean Time

    Cheltenham Town v Wolves (14:00 GMT)

    Wolves are second in National League North and have lost just once this term, and in the previous round they beat Shrewsbury Town 14-0.

    Cheltenham are ninth in National League South and might have their work cut out at Kayte Lane, but the Robinesses have never made it this far in this competition.

    Cheltenham skipper Emily Owen used to play for Wolves and is from Wolverhampton itself, and she told BBC Radio Gloucestershire, "The effort and the hard work that the girls have put in so far to get to where we are, we deserve to be there so hopefully we can out in a good performance."

    Rugby Borough entered the Women's FA Cup in the first round where they overcame Lincoln City 7-0, as Angela Nixon bagged a swift hat-trick in 5 minutes and 36 seconds.

    They scored seven again in the second round as they beat visitors Peterborough United 7-1 while Mancunian Unity were dispatched 3-0 to book a fourth-round clash with London Bees.

    "The Bees play good football and they've had a strong season themselves and we know we will have to perform well to progress into the next round,” Rugby head coach Lee Burch said.

    Rugby have scored eight goals against the Bees without reply in their two most recent meetings as they did the double over them in last season's Women's National League Premier Division.

    I think when you see Rofiat Imuran get the ball you can see what she wants to do.

    Amber Webber looks to the side and is grateful for the post.

    Fourth-tier London Bees have not had the best of build-ups to their Women's FA Cup tie against Rugby Borough after their 12-game unbeaten run was snapped by a 2-1 defeat by Chatham Town last week.

    Dan McKimm's side began their cup campaign with a 6-0 win against Steyning Town Community in the third round of qualifiers before a 2-0 defeat of Farnham Town in the first round proper.

    A hard-fought 3-2 victory against Chatham sent them through to face QPR, who they beat 6-3 after extra-time to book a place in the fourth round.

    The Bees, who were in the Championship up until the end of the 2020-21 season, will eye a return to winning ways when they face Rugby Borough, who sit a division above them.

  9. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 13:53 Greenwich Mean Time

    Fulham 0-5 London City Lionesses

    Great strike!

    Rofiat Imuran takes aim from about 30 yards and a swerving effort crashes back off the post.

    Amber Webber in the Fulham goal just stood there and admired the strike. She was helpless.

    We're into seven minutes of added time at Craven Cottage.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 13:52 Greenwich Mean Time

    A double change for Fulham. Ella Newman and Belle Taylor-Makepeace are placed by Summer Roberts and Madeleine Filer.

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:50 Greenwich Mean Time

    Man City 1-0 Ipswich

    The half-time whistle goes at the end of a pretty forgettable first 45 minutes.

    That is credit to Ipswich, who have defended stoutly for the most part to restrict Manchester City to very few chances.

    The visitors have offered next to nothing going forward so far and it'll be interesting to see if their approach changes after the break.

    For now, Jill Roord's strike is the difference between the sides.

    This was London City's fifth goal. Quite delightful it was too.

    And just like that Sunderland are three goals ahead again.

    It is Ellen Jones this time with her second goal of the afternoon.

    Man City 1-0 Ipswich

    With a little under two minutes left in the first half, Manchester City pass the ball around at the back and the camera very briefly shows home goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita.

    I'm pretty sure that is the first time the ball has been close enough to the City goal for Yamashita to be shown on camera.

    London City are seeking that sixth goal but they haven't actually tested Amber Webber all that often since she had came off the bench.

    Man City 1-0 Ipswich

    Lily Murphy jinks her way into the penalty area again before curling a left-foot shot just over the bar.

    Manchester City are pushing for a second but clear-cut chances are still proving difficult to come by.

  19. 'Important exposure for Fulham players'published at 13:40 Greenwich Mean Time

    It's important for the Fulham players to get this exposure against London City.

    It's a bit of a shop window opportunity for players to show what they can do against better opposition.

    GOAL - Dale gets her secondpublished at 13:37 Greenwich Mean Time

    Exeter City 0-3 Sunderland

    Just after the half-hour mark Eleanor Dale has scored her second goal of the afternoon after a cross by Katie Kitching.

    Sunderland are in control in Devon.
