Manchester City have been drawn against Chelsea in the semi-final of the FA Cup.
Pep Guardiola’s side secured their passage to Wembley with a 2-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday evening, while the Blues needed two last-minute goals to seal a 4-2 victory against Championship side Leicester City.
Despite drawing both their league encounters this season, City supporters on X are confident that their team will come out on top when they play Chelsea next month:
We can’t draw this time

City could have got a better draw
With Coventry surprisingly beating Wolves to secure a semi-final spot, the Championship club are undoubtedly the easiest team left in the competition.
However, the Sky Blues will be facing Manchester United. It means that there is a very real prospect of another Manchester derby in May.
When will the semi-final between City and Chelsea be played?
The cup tie will take place at Wembley on Saturday 20th April, with the league game against Tottenham having to be postponed until a later date.
The semi-final will be played just a few days after the Cityzens take on Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Etihad.
April is going to be season-defining for Guardiola’s men, with four league fixtures coming up next month after the Arsenal clash on March 31st.
