Renée Slegers has made six changes to the starting XI for this afternoon's Adobe Women's FA Cup quarter-final against Brighton & Hove Albion. 

Smilla Holmberg, Laia Codina and Taylor Hinds all come into the defence, with Lotte Wubben-Moy keeping her place in front of Daphne van Domselaar. 

Frida Maanum comes in to partner Mariona Caldentey and Kim Little in midfield, while Chloe Kelly and Beth Mead start on the wings either side of Stina Blackstenius. 

Emily Fox, Katie McCabe, Caitlin Foord, Olivia Smith and Alessia Russo, who all started at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League on Wednesday night, are on the bench, while Steph Catley misses out with the calf injury that forced her off against Chelsea. 

Kick-off at Mangata Developments Stadium is at 1pm, and we'll be looking to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time since 2022.
