But if replays go according to form, the highlight of the fifth round ties will be the visit of women's Premier League leaders Ipswich to last year's Cup winners, Clifton Scottish Life. First, however, Clifton have to overcome South League leaders Dulwich.
Giant-killers Woking, who accounted for Premier Division Sutton Coldfield last Sunday and are on maximum points at the top of Division Two, will relish the chance of another scalp with the visit of First Division Bradford.
In the men's competition, last season's Cup and League winners Cannock, providing they overcome Harrogate, have another home tie against junior opposition.
Old Georgians, who struck 16 goals in their League game against Camberley - with Gary Notton (6) and Mahmood Bhatti (4) doing the bulk of the damage - are the visitors. Along with Epsom, Old Georgians have a 100 per cent record at the top of the Surrey Hampshire South League.
Old Cranleighans, who defeated Premier League Bourn-ville in the shock of the fourth round, have another home tie against EHL Division One leaders Lewes.

(ties to be played on 17 January).
