The Emirates FA Cup is reaching its final stages, and this weekend is going to be a big one, as it gets to the semi-final stage. All four teams still in it will be aiming to make history, and the world will be watching at Wembley.
The most prestigious club left is Manchester City, with their seven FA Cup winners' medals, and they will lock horns against the high-flying Nottingham Forest on Sunday night. For Pep Guardiola and his side, it is an opportunity to put some silverware to a season that has not gone to plan.
Earlier on Sunday, Crystal Palace take on Aston Villa in the first of two semi-finals, and that promises to be a tale of its own. Aston Villa is looking for the FA Cup after nearly thirty years, while Palace have that belief and were aiming for their first final. It is all come to this - an exciting weekend of action.
