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:

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.
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.
