Manchester City is set to take on Southampton in the FA Cup semifinals, while Chelsea will face Leeds United.
Southampton secured their spot in the semifinals with a surprising victory over Arsenal on Saturday. Meanwhile, Manchester City cruised to a 4-0 victory against Liverpool, and Chelsea dominated Port Vale with a staggering 7-0 win to advance to the final four.
The Championship promotion contenders, who defeated Arsenal 2-1 on Saturday night, now find themselves matched against Pep Guardiola’s squad in the draw that took place on Sunday.
Manchester City, a seven-time FA Cup champion and coming off a 4-0 win against Liverpool, will aim to secure their fourth consecutive final appearance, having fallen short in the finals against Manchester United and Crystal Palace in previous seasons since their last championship in 2023. The Saints will look to evoke memories of their 1976 victory.
Leeds appeared to be heading for a comfortable win against West Ham but conceded two late goals that pushed the match into extra time. However, after a tense 30 minutes with no score, Leeds triumphed in the penalty shootout 4-2, marking their first semifinal appearance in nearly four decades.
Chelsea, having overrun League One’s Port Vale 7-0, notably faced Leeds in the 1970 final, which ultimately resulted in a replay that Chelsea won, contributing to their total of eight FA Cup titles.
The semifinal matches will be held at Wembley during the weekend of April 25-26.
