The draw for the FA Cup semi-final
Four of the Premier League's current top five teams will go head to head in the FA Cup semi-finals as they all look to lift the historic trophy in May.
One hundred and twenty-four teams contested the first round proper of the FA Cup back in November, and now just two games stand between the remaining teams and the trophy.
Manchester City were the first team to make it through to the semi finals, as they beat Middlesbrough 2-0 at the Riverside, in Saturday's early kick-off. Goals from David Silva and Sergio Aguero were enough to see Pep Guardiola's team progress.
This season's FA Cup fairytale came to an end on Saturday evening, as non-league Lincoln City's were beaten 5-0 at the Emirates by Arsenal. The Gunners have received a lot of criticism of late, so were relieved to have avoided this potential cup shock.
Tottenham went one better than their bitter rivals Arsenal when they beat Millwall 6-0. Pochettino's team see the FA Cup as a great opportunity to bring some silverware to White Hart Lane, although it came at a cost, with key man Harry Kane limping off with an ankle injury.
Chelsea were the final team to make the semi finals, beating Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. Ander Herrera was sent off in the first half for United, but Chelsea had to wait until the second half for the winner, which came via a long range N'golo Kante effort.
Here is the FA Cup semi-final draw, which will be played on the weekend of 22nd and 23rd April:
