FA Cup semi-final draw LIVE

Chelsea and Manchester City will find out their FA Cup semi-final opponents this afternoon as the draw is conducted at the London Stadium. The business end of the tournament is fast approaching, with just four teams remaining in contention for English football’s oldest honour. Liam Rosenior’s Blues routed League One strugglers Port Vale 7-0 on Saturday to reach this stage, while City produced a rather more impressive 4-0 defeat of Liverpool.

Southampton are now the lowest-ranked side in the competition after they stunned Arsenal at St Mary’s on Saturday, with goals from Ross Stewart and Shea Charles cancelling out Viktor Gyokeres’ second-half equaliser. Their efforts will be rewarded with a trip to Wembley in late April, though, where they will once again come up against Premier League opposition. One more win will see them book their first trip to the final since 2003.

There is still one semi-finalist to be decided, with West Ham and Leeds United facing off for the final remaining spot this evening. The draw will take place at full-time. Follow the draw LIVE below with Standard Sport’s dedicated blog.
