This draw raised the prospect of a repeat of last season’s all-Manchester FA Cup final, which City won 2-1, adding to the anticipation for football fans.
Manchester City, the current FA Cup holders and pursuing a treble, secured their spot in the semi-finals with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Newcastle. On the other hand, Chelsea had a dramatic win against Championship promotion contenders Leicester, needing two stoppage-time goals to seal a 4-2 victory at Stamford Bridge.
Manchester United’s thrilling 4-3 win against Liverpool in extra time earned them a semi-final clash with Coventry, who stunned Wolves with a 3-2 victory in stoppage time. United manager Erik ten Hag acknowledged Coventry’s spirit and mentality, highlighting the need for his team to perform at their best to reach the final.
Coventry, managed by former United striker Mark Robins, have a rich history in the FA Cup, including a famous victory in 1987 and Robins’ crucial goal in 1990. United, aiming to win the FA Cup for the first time since 2016, faces a determined Coventry side looking to make a mark in the competition once again.
