Neal Maupay was on target in this season's reverse fixture against Crystal Palace.

It all starts with a rearranged Women's FA Cup fifth round tie against Crystal Palace at Hayes Lane on Tuesday night.

Tuesday 25th February - Women's FA Cup fifth round: Crystal Palace v Albion, kick-off 7.45pm

Two days after they lost 1-0 at home to Tottenham in the WSL, Albion's women head to Bromley to take on Championship side Crystal Palace in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The tie should have been played last week, but was postponed because of adverse weather conditions. The winners will be at home to Birmingham City on Sunday 15th March.

Albion have a 100 per cent record against Championship opposition this season, having beaten London City Lionesses, Charlton and London Bees in the Continental League Cup, before knocking out Aston Villa 3-2 in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Palace drew 1-1 with London City in their most recent league game on Sunday, and have won twice in the Championship this season.

Friday 28th February - Premier League 2: Derby County v Albion, kick-off 12pm

Simon Rusk's side head to Derby County on Friday for an encounter between the sides currently third and fourth in the table.

The Seagulls climbed to third following a 2-1 win over Manchester City a fortnight ago - their fourth win in the last five league games. They have since beaten Bognor Regis Town 7-2 in the Sussex Senior Cup.

Graham Potter's side have drawn four of their last five and are unbeaten in three in the league, while Palace will go into the game on the back of a 1-0 home win over Newcastle United last Saturday. When the sides met at Selhurst Park in December, Neal Maupay's goal earned Albion a 1-1 draw.
