Marquee Matchups Determined on Historic Pitch
Manchester United and Liverpool Match Draws the Curtain on Thrilling Quarterfinals
The highly anticipated draw for the 2024 FA Cup semi-finals took place at Old Trafford on Sunday, March 17. After the gripping quarterfinal clash between Manchester United and Liverpool, the stage was set for the announcement of the final four contenders.
Manchester City emerged as a dominant force in the draw, continuing their impressive FA Cup record. The reigning champions have won a remarkable 28 of their last 31 matches in the competition, including their current streak of 10 consecutive victories. This impressive run leaves City as the team to beat heading into the semi-finals.
Chelsea previously held the record for the most consecutive FA Cup wins, with 13 triumphs between 2009 and 2011. However, City's recent dominance has shattered the previous benchmark.
The semi-finals will be played at Wembley Stadium connected by EE, the iconic venue that has hosted countless historic FA Cup matches. Under the watchful eyes of presenter Mark Pougatch and former FA Cup winner Ian Wright, who conducted the draw, the eagerly awaited matchups were revealed.
In one semi-final, Manchester United will face Championship side Coventry City. Having overcome Tottenham and Brighton in the earlier rounds, Coventry will aim to cause an upset against the Premier League giants and reach their first FA Cup final since 1936.
