The draw for the 2024-2025 FA Cup semi-finals has been made. Manchester City will face Nottingham Forest, while Aston Villa will take on Crystal Palace at Wembley on April 26 and 27.
Although City, the reigning Premier League champions, are the clear favorites, their journey this season has been anything but easy. With injuries and a congested schedule, Pep Guardiola’s squad has shown signs of vulnerability. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest, who last lifted the FA Cup in the 1950s, and Crystal Palace, who have never won the trophy, dream of making history.
This year’s tournament has already seen its fair share of surprises, with several top teams eliminated early. Now, all eyes turn to the semi-finals, where the underdogs will attempt to topple City and carve out their own place in football history.
