READING FC WOMEN have been drawn to play away at Leicester City in the fourth round of the FA Women’s Cup.
The tie will be played between the two Women’s Super League teams on Sunday, January 29..
Leicester are currently rooted to the bottom of the Women’s Super League table without picking up a point having lost all nine of their league fixtures.
Meanwhile, Reading are two places and seven points above the Foxes with two wins, a draw and six defeats from 10 matches.
Reading and Leicester have already met once this season in a dramatic encounter at the Select Car Leasing Stadium in November.
Neither side had a point to their name before the meeting and it looked as if Leicester would come away with three crucial points after they took the lead through Natasha Flint in the 36th minute.
They held their advantage for the next 55 minutes only to concede twice in stoppage time as the Royals completed a last-gasp turnaround.
Rachel Rowe netted directly from a corner in the 90th minute and just two minutes later she scored an exceptional winner from distance after beating three players to give Reading lift off in the league.
Reading were eliminated from last year’s competition in the fifth round after defeat at home to West Ham United after extra-time.
