Chelsea, Manchester City and Southampton await their semi-final fate as the last draw of the FA Cup season is made after West Ham vs Leeds – which has gone to extra time.
The Saints stunned Arsenal to provide Championship representation in the last four, with the hosts deserved winners at St Mary’s. Could it be a turning point in a season that once promised so much for Mikel Arteta’s side? Manchester City may hope so with Pep Guardiola’s men still in the hunt for a domestic treble after thrashing Liverpool on Saturday lunchtime.
Also having booked their place at Wembley are Chelsea, who put a tricky week and an exiled captain behind them as they swept aside struggling Port Vale. The draw for the semi-finals will be made after the final last-eight clash at the London Stadium, with the ties to be played on the weekend of 25 April.

18:05 , Harry Latham-CoyleLiam Rosenior said things are “not what people think” between him and Enzo Fernandez after the midfielder watched from the stands as Chelsea beat Port Vale 7-0 to reach the FA Cup semi-finals.
The agent of the World Cup winner, Javier Pastore, on Friday described as “completely unfair” Rosenior’s decision to remove Fernandez from the team for two matches following comments made during the international break in which he appeared to court Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old will also miss next Sunday’s Premier League game against Manchester City, which could prove to be a warm-up for a cup meeting between the teams at Wembley later in April.
