Manchester City will play Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-finals, while Manchester United are set to face Brighton and Hove Albion should they beat Fulham.
Sunday’s draw means the possibility of a Manchester derby in the final is firmly on the cards, though United will have to overcome two strong Premier League rivals in order to set that up.
City will not be taking anything for granted either, though Pep Guardiola’s side head into the contest against the Blades as big favourites.
Erling Haaland scored his sixth hat-trick of the season as City routed Burnley 6-0 on Saturday to reach the semi-finals for the fifth straight season.
Sheffield United, meanwhile, scored twice late on to beat fellow Championship side Blackburn Rovers 3-2 on Sunday at Bramall Lane.
City loanee Tommy Doyle netted the Blades’ winner in stoppage time but will be unable to feature against his parent club in the last four. James McAtee is another regular who is on loan from the Premier League champions.
Evan Ferguson became the top-scoring teenager for a Premier League club across all competitions this season (seven) as he netted twice in Brighton’s 5-0 thrashing of Grimsby Town, while EFL Cup winners United were in action against Fulham in Sunday’s late kick-off at Old Trafford.
The semi-final ties will be played at Wembley Stadium across the weekend of April 22 and 23.
FA Cup semi-final draw:
