Current WSL leaders Manchester City will travel to take on Bournemouth of the third division, as they pursue their first FA Cup title since 2020.
Meanwhile, Manchester United, who have reached the final in each of the last three seasons and won the title in 2024, have a home tie with third-tier Burnley.
UEFA Women’s Champions League holders and 14-time FA Cup winners Arsenal will play host to an all-WSL clash against Aston Villa, who reached the quarter-finals last season.
The fourth round is the first in which the WSL sides will be involved, as they join the lower-league teams, who have progressed from the previous rounds.

Southampton will hope to build on their 10-0 thumping of Royston Town in the third round with a home tie against Bristol City.
There were plenty of one-sided scorelines in the previous round of the competition, with Burnley beating Peterborough United 7-0 and Birmingham City putting six past Sporting Khalsa.
Meanwhile, Ipswich Town, Bournemouth and Sunderland all scored five in their respective contests.
Chelsea have dominated the Women’s FA Cup in recent seasons, winning in four of the last five campaigns, including last time around.
