Its an all-star last four for this seasons FA Cup, with Chelsea signing up with Manchester United, Arsenal, and (most likely) Manchester City as the last groups standing in the worlds earliest running cup competition.
The trophy represents that last (practical) chance for a prize for all 4 groups this season also, though at this phase everybody will be taking things seriously, component congestion or no component congestion.
The semifinals are currently set up for the weekend of July 18-19, with the last to follow on August 1.
City are the defending champions, while Chelsea had actually won it the season prior to.
For Chelsea, that will suggest a clash against Manchester United, a repeat of the 2018 last, with Arsenal and Manchester City (or Newcastle United, ought to there be a wonder in the 2nd half today) contesting the other semifinal. Both games will be held at Wembley, which does not rather have the ring to it without fans in the stands, however thats simply how things go nowadays.
These four teams have actually combined to win 22 of the last 27 editions (because 1992, i.e. the Premier League age):– Arsenal 8, Chelsea 7, Manchester United 5, Manchester City 2. (And just 2 of those 5 finals didnt include one of the four as the losing group: Liverpool vs. West Ham in 2006 and Portsmouth vs. Cardiff City in 2008.).
