Arsenal and Manchester City will lock horns in the semi-finals of the FA Cup on Saturday night with both teams determined to book their spot in the showpiece final.

City are the holders of the competition, having landed their sixth title last season, but Arsenal are the most successful team in FA Cup history, lifting the famous trophy on 13 occasions.

We say: Arsenal 1-2 Manchester City


We are expecting a very close game at Wembley as City have had their problems since the restart. Arsenal will have been boosted by a huge win over Liverpool last time out, meanwhile, but we are finding it difficult to back against Guardiola's side, who have such a strong recent record over the Gunners.

Manchester United and Chelsea will temporarily take their focus off a fascinating top-four race on Sunday when the two sides meet in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

Just one point separates them in the Premier League table, and both teams go into this repeat of the 2018 final off the back of crucial victories at the weekend.

We say: Man Utd 2-1 Chelsea


This is a mouth-watering battle which is very difficult to call - even more so given that both managers are expected to make changes.

Chelsea have had a couple of extra days to prepare, but the formbook points towards a United win and that is the side we have fallen on, with their current run just about giving them the edge - although this is a contest which could quite easily go either way.
