Holders to begin FA Cup defence against West Brom

Manchester United Women’s defence of the Adobe Women’s FA Cup will begin at home against West Bromwich Albion FC Women.

The draw for the fourth round proper was made from 7pm on Monday 9 December, in association with ‘She’s a Baller’.

This stage of the competition is the point at which each of the 12 Women’s Super League teams enter, with United listed as ball number 10 in a field packed with heavy hitters.

Skinner’s Reds, who famously won the trophy by dismantling Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 at Wembley in May, were picked out by 2014 winner Freda Ayisi during the draw, which took place at Night Tales Loft in Hackney, east London.

Our defence of the trophy – the first major piece of silverware won by the team since it was founded in 2018 – will begin against the Black Country club on Sunday 12 January 2025 at Leigh Sports Village, with the kick-off time still to be confirmed.

West Brom currently play in the FA Women’s National League North – the third tier of the women’s game in England.

The Baggies beat Cheadle Town Stingers by two goals to nil on Sunday to guarantee their spot in the last 32.
