We’ve reached the semifinals of the 2014 FA Cup, and with the draw we know who’s facing who for the right to contest the trophy in May.
FA Cup semifinal draw: Giants drawn together in Wembley clash
The semifinals match-ups are set with one potential marquee tie and a battle between a Championship and League One side.

The winner of the Manchester City vs. Wigan match will face off against Arsenal, who dispatched Everton 4-1 on Saturday to claim their spot in the semifinals. Wigan are the defending champions, and could move one step closer to defending their title if they can pull off the upset of Manchester City, the team they beat in last year's final.
The other semifinal features Hull City and Sheffield United of League One. The Blades defeated Charlton Athletic 2-0 on Sunday while Hull -- who haven't been to an FA Cup semifinal since 1930 -- hammered Sunderland 3-0 in their quarterfinal. Both qualify as Cinderella stories, and there's an excellent chance that one of those teams will be playing in next season's Europa League as well.
Both matches will be played the weekend of April 12th and 13th at Wembley Stadium in London.
