Meanwhile, Chelsea drove with a thin score, after Ross Barkley scored a mere puppet goal in the 63rd minute to secure a 1-0 victory against Leicester City at King Power Stadium on Sunday (28/6).

United and Chelsea have faced each other three times this season, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team topping each meeting. The Red Devils opened their Premier League campaign with a 4-0 win over Frank Lampard’s team before beating them 2-1 in the League Cup in October. They then again surpass The Blues in the Premier League with a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge in February.

But Chelsea’s last FA Cup success came after they toppled United, as the London team won the trophy for the eighth time in history by narrowly winning 1-0 in 2018.

Meanwhile, Arsenal advanced to the last four after beating Sheffield United on Sunday, with Dani Ceballos emerging through the decisive goal after Nicolas Pepe’s first-half penalty was equalized by David McGoldrick’s goal.

Another club City secured their place in the semi-finals following a 2-0 win against Newcastle United at St James’ Park, with Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling listing their names on the scoreboard.

Pep Guardiola’s team want to defend their title in this event, after beating Watford in last year’s final, but Arsenal are the most successful team in the FA Cup with a collection of 13 trophies.

United are the second team with the most trophy collections of 12, with their last success achieved in 2016 under the direction of Louis van Gaal. City, meanwhile, have won it only six times.

According to the plan, the FA Cup final this season is scheduled to be played at Wembley on 1 August.
