- 4 — Southampton vs. Manchester City winner
Teams in FA Cup semi-finals
Wembley will host the four teams who win their quarter-final matches.
As long as two Championship teams remain, it’s possible for a lower league team to reach the semi-finals, but qualifying will be difficult for both.
As the 8th-placed team in the Championship, Middlesbrough will take on European champions Chelsea on Saturday. Other quarterfinals will be played on Sunday.
Club | Division | Tier | FA Cup Titles (last) |
Middlesbrough | Championship | 2nd | — |
Chelsea | Premier League | 1st | 8 (2018) |
Crystal Palace | Premier League | 1st | — |
Everton | Premier League | 1st | 5 (1995) |
Southampton | Premier League | 1st | 1 (1976) |
Man City | Premier League | 1st | 6 (2019) |
Nottingham Forest | Championship | 2nd | 2 (1959) |
Liverpool | Premier League | 1st | 7 (2006) |
When are FA Cup semi-finals played?
After the quarter-finals conclude on March 20, almost a month will pass before the semi-finals, which will take place the weekend of April 16-17.
Saturday, April 16, will see the first semi-final, and Sunday, April 17, will see the second semi-final.
In contrast to the first two rounds of the competition, the FA Cup semi-finals will not resort to a replay if a draw is reached at full time. A game that is level after 90 minutes will continue with 30 minutes of extra time, followed by a penalty-kick shootout if the teams cannot be separated after that.
After that, the final will be held less than a month later. The match is expected to take place on Saturday, May 14, as is traditional in mid-May.
