The teams from the North West have been paired up for a Wembley date, whilst some local London pride could be at stake in the other tie, unless some men from Hull intervene...Everton's reward for defeating Middlesbrough 2-1 at Goodison Park today in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup is a trip to Wembley to face Lancashire rivals Manchester United next month.
The Toffees defeated Boro today thanks to goals from Marouane Felliani and Louis Saha, who cancelled out David Wheater's opener for the visitors. United, of course, eased past Fulham at Craven Cottage yesterday 4-0.
Meanwhile, a potential London derby awaits in the other half of the draw, unless Hull City's gritty Yorkshiremen can spoil the party by beating Arsenal in the quarter-finals.
The Gunners overcame plucky Burnley today 3-0 at the Emirates, with goals from Carlos Vela, Eduardo Da Silva and Emmanuel Eboue doing the job, meaning that they will play Hull for a semi-final place against Chelsea.
The Blues eased past another game Championship outfit yesterday by beating Coventry City 2-0 at the Ricoh Arena, and the prospect of a London derby will doubtless fire their supporters up for the trip to Wembley.
Draw in full:
Arsenal/Hull City v Chelsea
Manchester United v Everton
Ties to take place at Wembley Stadium on the weekend of April 18/19
