Manchester City and Liverpool paired together in blockbuster FA Cup semi-final

Updated 20/03/2022 at 20:00 GMT

Chelsea tasted defeat in the final in the last two years, and Thomas Tuchel will be hoping to go one better in the 2021/22 campaign. Manchester City are top of the Premier League and also have European football to focus on. That comment also applies to Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, who saw off Nottingham Forest to reach the last four.

The draw for the semi-finals of the FA Cup has thrown up a meeting between the top two teams in the Premier League, as Manchester City and Liverpool were pulled out together.

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool advanced to the semi-finals after the draw, seeing off Nottingham Forest 1-0 in the last eight on Sunday evening, and can now look forward to a clash with Pep Guardiola’s City.

City have stuttered a little recently, but returned to winning ways with a 4-1 mauling of Southampton in the FA Cup.

Liverpool and City have not met in the FA Cup since 2003, when Danny Murphy netted a penalty in a 1-0 win for the Reds.

The second semi-final will be a capital affair, as Chelsea have been paired with Crystal Palace.

Chelsea put the off-field turmoil to one side to see off Middlesbrough, while Crystal Palace were easy winners over Everton.
