Manchester City will face Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-finals while Crystal Palace will play Aston Villa.
The draw was made before City won 2-1 at Bournemouth in the quarter-finals to keep Pep Guardiola’s side on course for a second FA Cup in three years.
Forest, who beat Brighton on penalties in the quarter-finals on Saturday, will take on the seven-time winners at Wembley in their first FA Cup semi-final in 34 years.
The pair most recently met in early March at the City Ground as Forest won 1-0, but in December, Manchester City beat Nuno Espirito Santo’s side 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
The other semi-final will see Crystal Palace, who won 3-0 at Fulham in the last eight, take on Aston Villa as the Eagles eye FA Cup glory for the first time in the club’s history.

Meanwhile, seven-time winners Villa are attempting to lift the FA Cup for the first time in 68 years after Unai Emery’s side eased past Championship side Preston with a 3-0 quarter-final win at Deepdale.
Palace, however, may be buoyed by their last meeting against Villa as Oliver Glasner’s side won 4-1 at Selhurst Park in the Premier League on February 25.
The FA Cup semi-finals will be held at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, April 26, and Sunday, April 27.
