FA Cup draw LIVE: Manchester United, Chelsea, Man City and Coventry learn semi-final fate
The semi-finals will be played at Wembley Stadium with the ties decided after the final quarter-final of the round Manchester United v Liverpool
Manchester United will play Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-finals after knocking out Liverpool at Old Trafford, in one of the most dramatic finishes to a match in the competition’s storied history. The holders Manchester City will take on Chelsea in the other semi-final - with a repeat of last season’s FA Cup final, between City and United, still a possibility.
Amad Diallo’s 120th minute winner in extra time ended Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp’s hopes of winning the quadruple, after the Reds had been minutes away from Wembley. Marcus Rashford scored a 112th minute equaliser, before Erik ten Hag’s side progressed.
Earlier today, Chelsea defeated 10-man Leicester in a six-goal thriller at Stamford Bridge, as Mauricio Pochettino’s side returned to Wembley after their defeat in the Carabao Cup final earlier this season.
Yesterday, the holders Manchester City – chasing an unprecedented double treble – beat Newcastle 2-0 to book their place in the last four, after Coventry City reached the semi-finals following their stunning comeback victory over Wolves.
The FA Cup semi-final ties will be played on the weekend of 20 April, with both matches taking place at Wembley Stadium.
