Favourites Manchester United and Chelsea have been kept
apart in today's draw for the FA Cup semi-finals.
Chelsea will face either Arsenal or Hull, who have yet to meet,
while United take on Everton.
United and Chelsea met each other in the FA Cup final two years
ago with Chelsea winning 1-0 in extra-time through Didier
Drogba.
But Sir Alex Ferguson's side got the better of the Blues on
penalties in the Champions League final last May and their latest
Premier League meeting resulted in a 3-0 victory for United.
Neither side will take a final appearance for granted, though,
with Ferguson well aware of Everton's capabilities in the cup.
The Toffees' last major trophy was their FA Cup victory in 1995,
when they upset United 1-0 in the final. The pair have met 10 times
in the competition and are tied at 5-5.
Everton striker Louis Saha, who scored the winner in today's 2-1
quarter-final victory over Middlesbrough, admitted United's 4-0 win
against Fulham yesterday gives the Toffees plenty of food for
thought.
The former United player told evertonTV: "When I
remember the game yesterday, it is a difficult one, but it is a
special thing to go to Wembley.
"I think it is going to be a really tough game but we have been
great all season so far.
"We have shown great commitment in the FA Cup so, obviously, we
have to show that to keep winning the next two games.
"You have to beat the big teams at some point and this will be a
big test for us because they are the best team around.''
United winger Park Ji-sung is just hoping to be part of the
Wembley experience after missing out on playing at the national
stadium thus far.
"I'd love to be involved because I haven't yet experienced what
it feels like to play there,'' he told MUTV.
"Injuries have meant I've missed out when we've been there and I
didn't play in the recent Carling Cup final win.
"I know what a great stadium it is and hopefully I'll get the
chance to play this time.''
Arsenal won their delayed fifth-round tie this afternoon,
beating Burnley 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium.
And Arsene Wenger's side will be firm favourites to get past
Hull, despite the Tigers' shock victory in north London in the
league this season.
The Gunners and Chelsea, who beat Coventry 2-0 yesterday to
reach the last four, last faced each other in the FA Cup in the
fifth round in 2004, when Arsenal triumphed 2-1.
Indeed, Guus Hiddink's side may have to overcome more than 60
years of history if they are to reach the final again - they have
not beaten Arsenal in the FA Cup since 1947.
The matches will be played at Wembley Stadium on April 18 and
19.
