fa-cup-trophyManchester United face a potential semi final clash with neighbours Manchester City provided they see off Chelsea in a sixth round replay.

Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney looked to have booked United a place in the last four after scoring twice in the first 10 minutes at Old Trafford. But a spirited comeback from Rafael Benitez’s side saw Eden Hazard and Ramires peg the hosts back after the break meaning they’ll have to do it all over again at Stamford Bridge to determine who meets City at Wembley.

Roberto Mancini’s men booked their place in the semi’s on Saturday after smashing in five goals without reply against Barnsley at the Etihad Stadium. Carlos Tevez notched a hat trick for the 2011 winners alongside strikes from Aleksandar Kolarov and David Silva.

Wigan’s prospects of reaching a first FA Cup Final in their history were greatly enhanced after they were pitted against Millwall of Blackburn. Roberto Martinez guided his side to a shock quarter final victory against Everton and will now fancy his chances of beating the Championship duo who will meet again after playing out a goalless draw at the New Den.
