Aston Villa will take on Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley after a comfortable 3-0 victory over Preston earlier on Saturday.
Nottingham Forest, who triumphed over Brighton in a penalty shootout on Saturday evening, will face the winner of the match between Manchester City and Bournemouth.
The draw occurred shortly after Unai Emery’s Aston Villa squad secured their spot with a decisive performance at Deepdale, with goals contributed by Marcus Rashford and Jacob Ramsey.
Villa are aiming to seize their first major trophy since 1996, with hopes of claiming their first FA Cup title since 1957.
Crystal Palace delivered an impressive performance, defeating a strong Fulham team 3-0 away from home, as they seek to reach their third FA Cup final and achieve their first winners’ medals in the club’s 125-year history.
While Manchester City has faced a challenging season in both the Premier League and Champions League, they aim to lift the FA Cup for the seventh time, remaining the bookmakers’ favourites ahead of a tough encounter against a confident Bournemouth side later on Sunday.
This year’s FA Cup champions will qualify for next season’s Europa League, an alternative route that typically necessitates a top-five finish in the Premier League, depending on England’s allocation of UEFA Champions League places for the upcoming campaign.
The FA Cup semi-final matches are scheduled for the weekend starting April 26th.
