SUNDERLAND LADIES and Durham Women have both been handed home draws in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
Durham, who are making their debut in the last eight of the competition, will entertain top-flight opposition in the shape of Everton, while Sunderland face a tough task against reigning champions Manchester City.
Durham, who play in WSL 2, will be hoping to spring a surprise in the quarter-finals after progressing from the fifth round with an emphatic 5-2 win over Leicester City at the weekend.
Sunderland booked their last-eight spot with a 3-2 win over Aston Villa, but will have to see off a Manchester City side that could feature former Wearside academy products Demi Stokes, Steph Houghton and Jill Scott if they are to make the semi-finals.
The quarter-finals will take place on Sunday, March 18, and the other two games will see Liverpool host Chelsea while Arsenal take on Charlton.
