Sheffield United Women finished fourth in Group 1 North, behind Women's Super League heavyweights Manchester City, Birmingham City and Bristol City.  

The draw for the quarter-finals of the cup competition will take place at 1pm today (18 December).

Only the top two teams from each group progress to the quarter-final stage following a restructure of the competition this season.

Bramall Lane was also announced as a proposed venue for the UEFA Women's Euros in 2021, which was awarded to England earlier in December.
