Cup holders Arsenal are chasing Leicester City for the Regional Talent Club (RTC) Tier 1 South title and there’s been plenty of goals in their two league meetings with Birmingham, City losing out 6-3 at home but drawing 3-3 away.
Liverpool were edged out 4-3 by the Gunners at the semi-final stage last season and must overcome Aston Villa if they are to reach the final four again. The Reds have all but sealed top spot in Tier 1 North after nine straight wins, while Villa lead Tier2/3 Midlands, also with an unbeaten record.
Millwall meet Chelsea in a London derby, with the pair the leading two side in Tier 2/3 South. The Lionesses have a 100% record and beat the Blues in November, when Onyi Echegini bagged a brace in a 3-1 result.
An all North East clash sees Sunderland take on Teesside Sport, the latter enjoying the better form with seven wins from eight games.
