Manchester City and Manchester United have been kept apart in the draw for the FA Cup semi-finals, raising the possibility of a first-ever Manchester derby final.
City – who thumped Burnley 6-0 in the quarter-finals – will face Championship Sheffield United(opens in new tab) – winners of a 3-2 thriller against Blackburn Rovers – in their fifth straight semi under Pep Guardiola.
In the other semi-final, Brighton(opens in new tab) – having dispatched League Two Grimsby Town 5-0 – will take on the winner of the final quarter-final between United and Fulham.
City have gone out in the last four in each of the past three seasons, last lifting the FA Cup in 2019.
Sheffield United have reached this stage for the first time since 2014 but could be without two key players against City: Tommy Doyle, who scored a stunning stoppage-time winner against Blackburn, and James McAtee are both on loan from the reigning Premier League champions.
