FA Cup semi-final draw: Holders Manchester City to face Chelsea, Coventry City earn tie with Manchester United

Manchester City will continue their defence of the FA Cup with a semi-final tie against Chelsea at Wembley Stadium, while Coventry City will play Manchester United.

Championship side Coventry reached the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1987 with a dramatic victory over Wolverhampton Wanders, while City comfortably beat Newcastle United to secure a return to Wembley.

On Sunday, Chelsea narrowly beat Leicester City thanks to two late goals, while Manchester United ended Liverpool's quadruple hopes by winning a dramatic seven-goal thriller.

The semi-finals will be played at Wembley on April 20 and April 21, while the final will be held on Saturday, May 25.

There were some turbulent encounters in the quarter-final round as teams battled for a spot at Wembley for the chance to contest in the competition’s 143rd final.

The biggest story of the round came at Wolves’ Molineux Stadium, as Coventry reached the semi-final for only the second time in the club’s history following a sensational victory over Gary O’Neil’s side.

After Ellis Simms had given the Championship side the lead in the second half, Wolves hit back with two goals in the last 10 minutes as Rayan Ait-Nouri and Hugo Bueno looked to have sealed Wolves’ spot in the semi-finals.

However, Simms found the target again with a close-range header in the 97th minute, and even deeper into added time, Haji Wright curled a beauty beyond Jose Sa to snatch a historic win.

The Sky Blues return to Wembley for the first time since their playoff final heartbreak last season, where they missed out on a place in the Premier League in a penalty shoot-out defeat to Luton Town.

At Old Trafford, Amad's last-gasp strike ended Jurgen Klopp’s hopes of a quadruple-winning farewell campaign in his final season for Liverpool.

Scott McTominay gave Erik ten Hag’s side the lead inside 10 minutes, but quickfire goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah turned the game on its head going into the break.

Antony came up trumps for United with a goal in the 87th minute to force extra time, but Harvey Elliot put Liverpool back in front with a deflected goal.

Marcus Rashford, who missed a great chance to win the game in normal time, made up for his miss to equalise once more before Amad squeezed an effort beyond Caoimhin Kelleher to send United fans into pandemonium.

There was more drama at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, as Chelsea needed late goals from Carney Chukwuemeka and Noni Madueke to confirm their return to Wembley, two months after their crushing Carabao Cup final defeat against Liverpool.

A rare strike from Marc Cucurella and a 16th goal of the season from Cole Palmer gave Chelsea a two-goal cushion, but a disastrous own-goal from Axel Disasi gave Leicester a way back into the tie.

Stephy Mavididi completed the comeback 10 minutes later, but after defender Callum Doyle was sent off for a challenge on Nicholas Jackson, Chelsea capitalised to move into the next round.

Elsewhere, Guardiola’s side continued their chase for a third FA Cup triumph in six years, after clinching the trophy last season in a tremendous treble-winning campaign.

Bernardo Silva made sure of City’s return to Wembley with two goals in a comfortable 2-0 win against fellow Premier League outfit Newcastle United on Saturday.
