The remaining five Premier League teams left in the FA Cup learn their semi-final opponents ahead of their Wembley Stadium dates next month.

The FA Cup semi-draw has been made with Nottingham Forest being handed a Wembley date with Manchester City.

On Saturday evening, Nuno Espirito Santo's side continued their remarkable campaign by edging out Brighton & Hove Albion in a penalty shootout after a goalless draw at the Amex Stadium.

Their rewards for overcoming the Seagulls is a showdown with Man City, who came from behind to overcome Bournemouth on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa will contest the other semi-final tie after their respective 3-0 victories over Fulham and Preston North End respectively.

Palace breezed through their all-London showdown at Craven Cottage, while Villa eventually cruised past Preston having needed almost an hour to score the opening goal.

April 26 and April 27 are the dates for the two last-four ties, with the Football Association to confirm the kickoff times in due course.

Palace are the only remaining side in the competition who are yet to win the FA Cup in their history.
