Crystal Palace have FA Cup semi-final opponents confirmed

Crystal Palace will play Aston Villa in the semi-final of the FA Cup at Wembley.

The draw took place live on BBC after Villa beat Championship side Preston North End on Sunday afternoon.

Palace booked their place in the last four after a 3-0 win over Premier League rivals Fulham on Saturday.

The Eagles last reached this stage of the competition in the 2021-22 season, losing to Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea in the semi-final.

Nottingham Forest, who beat Palace’s rivals Brighton on penalties, will take on either Bournemouth or Manchester City in the other last-four clash.

Villa are winless in their last four outings in all competitions against Palace.

The semi-final fixtures will be played across the weekend of April 26 and 27.
