Four teams will discover who they will face in the first of two potential trips in quick succession to Wembley Stadium when the FA Cup semi-final draw is made.
Manchester United beat second-tier Coventry City in an epic semi-final in 2023/24, winning on penalties after a 3-3 draw before surprising holders Manchester City in the final.
City had reached the decider by beating Chelsea 1-0 the previous day, when Bernardo Silva scored the only goal of the game in the 84th minute.
When is the draw for the FA Cup semi-finals, what time does it start and how can you tune in? 101GreatGoals.com has the details.

FA Cup draw 2025: Semi-finals time
The draw is almost certain to take place after the last of the quarter-finals on Sunday, March 30, when City attempt to win at Bournemouth.
That game starts at 4.30pm GMT, so the earliest the draw could potentially take place is around 6.30pm.
All ties from the first round of the competition must be settled on the day, so there could be extra time and penalties if the score remains level, which would push the approximate time of the draw past 7pm.
FA Cup semi-final draw: TV channel, online live stream
Bournemouth vs City is being shown by ITV, which means the draw will be screened on ITV 1.
Fans can follow the ceremony online and on the move via ITVX and ITV.com, while the Football Association’s online channels will also be carrying coverage.
A bit of magic to force a memorable moment 😮💨
