Republic of Ireland centre-half Caitlin Hayes scored a super header as Brighton and Hove Albion pulled off a shock by dumping European champions Arsenal out of the Women's FA Cup, with Denise O'Sullivan's Liverpool following them into the last four after an extra-time win against Charlton.

Thirty five-year-old reflects on his players overcoming adversity to climb towards new heights in the WSL and his evolution as a coach Martin Ho is ready to chat, after being playfully reprimanded by the waiter in a south London cafe for leaving a lone tomato on his plate. “It’s got more vitamin C in it than orange juice,” the waiter quips as he clears the table. It has been quite the season for the 35-year-old Tottenham head coach, who took charge in July of a side that looked rudderless and despondent as it limped to an 11th‑place finish in the Women’s Super League, one season on from finishing sixth and reaching an FA Cup final.

Arsenal meet Brighton with their sights set on reaching a second semi-final while Tottenham could be facing Chelsea at just the right time Riding high after their Champions League quarter-final win over Chelsea, Arsenal are ready to push on in the FA Cup. The WSL title may be almost certainly out of sight following Manchester City’s impressive victory over Manchester United, but the chance to go for a European and domestic cup double is very much there. Brighton stand in the way of securing a second cup semi-final within six days. Last weekend Dario Vidosic’s side earned a first WSL win since their 23 January defeat of Everton, securing a 1-0 win over bottom-placed Leicester. The Seagulls sit sixth in the WSL, eight points behind Tottenham and only ahead of London City Lionesses on goal difference. They are seven points off of last season’s total with four games remaining. However, those four games are against Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Spurs and inconsistency has blighted their campaign. The hope will be that they face a tired Arsenal after their Champions League exploits, with the 1-0 second-leg defeat to Chelsea a frantic and exhausting match. That is perhaps an ambitious ask given the depth at Arsenal’s disposal and the form they are in, Wednesday night’s inconsequential defeat being their first loss since 21 January.

The international break is over and it's back to action for Manchester City for the final stretch of the season. It all begins with Liverpool in the FA Cup on Saturday lunchtime. David Mooney is joined by City fan Ciaran Murray and, from The Athletic, Thom Harris to discuss the game - with a little help from Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap, too. As Manchester City Women take a commanding lead at the top of the WSL table, we speak to Paul Clarke from the Man City Women Fancast to discuss their prospects of a first title in ten years... and, with an FA Cup quarter final on the horizon, too, is there a possibility of a league and cup double? It seems we have some sadistic listeners, as well, given a not insignificant number asked us to use the international break to assess whether City in 1996 were the biggest club relegated from the Premier League. That's as Spurs face the very real prospect of going down this year. Plus, following Nico O'Reilly's brace in the Carabao Cup Final, we set Ciaran the task of looking at the numbers behind City's brace-scorers. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
