Two representatives of the Premier League, Manchester City and Chelsea, did not have to face each other in the FA Cup semi-finals this season.
According to the draw results, Manchester City will face Southampton - the team that just shocked Arsenal. Meanwhile, Chelsea will face Leeds United, recreating the 1970 final.
The semi-finals are scheduled to take place on April 25 and 26 at Wembley, although the specific schedule has not yet been determined. The final will be held on May 16, with the kick-off time around 4:30 PM (local time).
The teams' journey to the semi-finals was also full of drama. Man City made a strong impression when they crushed Liverpool 4-0, with a hat-trick from Erling Haaland and a goal from Antoine Semenyo.
The biggest surprise belonged to Southampton when they defeated Arsenal. Ross Stewart opened the scoring, before Viktor Gyokeres equalized, but a late goal from Shea Charles sealed victory for the side.
In another match, Chelsea easily overcame Port Vale with a score of 7-0. Meanwhile, Leeds United created the most exciting match when winning a ticket after a dramatic penalty shootout. Although Joel Piroe missed the first shot, goalkeeper Lucas Perri became the hero when he saved decisive shots, bringing Leeds to the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time in 39 years.
In terms of history, The Citizens are highly rated in the championship race as they won the Carabao Cup this season and have won the FA Cup 7 times under Pep Guardiola's leadership.
