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.

As does Tonda Eckert

Southampton’s manager was thrilled with what he considered to be a ‘deserved’ win over Arsenal.

"It's a big night for us. We knew we had to dig deep in some moments.

"Over the 90 minutes it was very well deserved.

"They're a good team and you can throw problems at them and they always have solutions. They are so well managed and tough to come up against. We had some moments where we did find a couple of solutions.

"Then there are the substitutions that change the game - we made quite good substitutions. In the end it was a big night for us and a big night for the supporters."

Will Enzo Fernandez play for Chelsea in FA Cup semi-finals?

Enzo Fernandez spent the international break seemingly putting himself in the shop window, with an eye to earning a move to Real Madrid.

He has consequently been suspended by Chelsea for yesterday’s match against Port Vale and next week’s Premier League meeting with Manchester City.

“Enzo knows what I think of him and it was brilliant to see him here to support the players today,” said Liam Rosenior. “We'll move forward and make sure we have a really good run-in in the season.”

Shearer predicts Arsenal title slip-up

Shearer expects Arsenal to fumble the Premier League title after they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Southampton.

“This is not a fluke. Victory went to the better side on the night.”

“After Arsenal got knocked out of the FA Cup, it will be incredibly tough for them, mentally, to go on and achieve what they want to achieve.

“It wouldn’t surprise me if Man City won the FA Cup. They’ve already got one trophy in the bag.

“‘I know they’ve got a tough draw, but I do think with their history and with their experience, they may be the favourites to win it.

“Now they’ve got through the quarter-final against Liverpool, I think they’ll win it.”
