Women's FA Cup semi-final draw: Holders Man Utd to face Man City as Chelsea take on surprise package Liverpool after upset at Arsenal

The draw was made on Sunday after the conclusion of the final two quarter-final ties, the last to finish being the big shock of the round as Liverpool upset Arsenal to reach this stage of the competition for the first time since 2017. The Reds are currently without a permanent manager, having said goodbye to Matt Beard at the end of last month, but were able to defeat the high-flying Gunners on the road after an own goal by goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar.

Chelsea and Manchester City also secured their places in the semi-finals thanks to wins on Sunday, the Blues narrowly defeating Crystal Palace after City had edged out another tight contest at home to Aston Villa. Meanwhile, Man Utd beat Sunderland, the only second-tier side remaining, on Saturday evening to continue their title defence.

CHELSEA VS LIVERPOOL

Chelsea have dominated this competition in recent years, winning three of the last four titles on offer. Man Utd snapped their hot streak last year though, beating the Blues in the semi-finals before going on to overcome Tottenham in the final at Wembley. It was the Red Devils' first major trophy on the women's side.

The two semi-finals will take place on April 13, with the final to be played at Wembley Stadium on May 18.
