The quarter-final matches are scheduled to be played from February 7-8, with the draw for the semi-finals taking place the day after the last ties. The final for this year’s Conti Cup will be hosted at Molineux on March 31.

There is a mention of controversy involving Manchester United, as they have questioned the decision by an independent tribunal to allow Aston Villa to remain in the tournament despite fielding an ineligible player.

Villa admitted the charge, and the tribunal decided to deduct three points from Villa and award the game to their opponents, resulting in Manchester United losing their status as one of the two best runners-up.

A club statement said: “We are very disappointed with this outcome, and do not understand its rationale.

“We feel that it undermines the integrity of the competition, and of the women’s game.”

The decision meant that Sunderland finish as Group A winners ahead of United and Villa, who took one of two runners-up spots alongside Tottenham.
