Southampton's reward for their stunning victory over Arsenal in the FA Cup is a clash with Manchester City in the semi-finals of the competition later this month. 

The Saints reached the final four for the first time since 2020-21 with a 2-1 win over the Premier League leaders thanks to Shea Charles' 85th-minute winner. 

It will be the first meeting between the two sides since May 2025, when they played out a goalless draw at St. Mary's in the Premier League, while it's the first time they have clashed in the FA Cup since March 2022, when the Citizens emerged 4-1 victors. 

The other semi-final pits eight-time winners Chelsea against Leeds United, with Daniel Farke's side reaching this stage of the tournament for the first time in 39 years. 

Leeds came out on top in a dramatic quarter-final with West Ham on Sunday, winning 4-2 in a penalty shoot-out after an enthralling 2-2 draw at London Stadium in normal time. 

It was only the second match between two Premier League sides in all competitions this season to see both teams attempt 20+ shots, after Newcastle against Bournemouth in the FA Cup back in January.

Chelsea, meanwhile, stormed past League One strugglers Port Vale in the last round with a 7-0 victory, with Liam Rosenior eyeing his first piece of silverware as the Blues' boss.

This year's ties will be played at Wembley on the weekend of 25-26 April, with the winners taking place in the showpiece match at the same venue on May 16.
