Final Four

Lips are salivating on the prospect of the semi-finals of the greatest Cup competition in the world - the FA Cup - and the stakes are raised now that four of the greatest clubs in England are in the final four.

Since Keith Houchen's diving header for Coventry City against Tottenham Hotspur in the 1987 final; and Lawrie Sanchez's header against Liverpool in the 1988 edition; there is just something magical & romantic about the FA Cup; with the one-offness and searing tension making it such an unforgettable experience.

In the first semi-final; Manchester City; searching for a Cup quadruple of UEFA Champions League; FA Cup; Carabao Cup and Community Shield; take on their former assistant manager Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. Though they start as favourites; we should not count out the Gunners just yet; as they have looked pretty resurgent of late after the corona break.

The other semi-final is no less fulfilling; as giants Manchester United and Chelsea go head-to-head; two Champions League-chasing teams that are in-form and thus make it almost too tight to call.
