'He'll have a problem' - Guardiola on expectations growing for Haaland

Manchester City will play Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-finals while Brighton will face Manchester United.

Manchester City were the first team to progress to Wembley after Pep Guardiola’s side destroyed Burnley 6-0 in the opening quarter-final, courtesy of another hat-trick from Erling Haaland, and will play another Championship side in the last four. Sheffield United prevailed against Blackburn in a thrilling tie, but could have to face City without match-winner Tommy Doyle and James McAtee, who are on loan from the Premier League club.

Brighton advanced to the semi-finals thanks to a 5-0 win over Grimsby Town, whose run came to an end. Roberto de Zerbi’s side will face Manchester United, following nine-man Fulham’s extraordinary collapse at Old Trafford.

Manchester United 0-1 Fulham

70 mins: OFF THE LINE! United break at speed after clearing a Fulham corner. Willian slips on the halfway line, and Antony slips in Sancho. He goes round Leno and cuts inside, before his shot is blocked by Willian. It looks like it has come off his arm though, this will be checked by VAR!
