Huddersfield Town Women travel to Birmingham City after Women's FA Cup third round draw

Huddersfield Town will travel to 2012 winners Birmingham City in the third round of the Women's FA Cup.

The Terriers are fourth in the Northern Premier Division, the third tier of English football. They beat Doncaster Rovers Belles and Durham Cestria to reach round three, where Championship teams join the competition.

Birmingham won the competition in 2012 and were runners-up in 2017, but were relegated from the Women's Super League last summer. They are fifth in this season's Championship.

There was initially some confusion as to who Leeds United's opponents would be, with Nottingham Forest's name read out twice, but the Tricky Trees will travel to managerless Sheffield United, and Leeds will host Stoke City.
