Manchester United avoided rivals Manchester City in Sunday's draw for the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

FA Cup semi-final draw

• Coventry vs. Manchester United
• Manchester City vs. Chelsea

If both Manchester clubs win in the semis then this season's FA Cup final will be a repeat of last season's - when City beat United 2-1 at Wembley.

That was the first time ever that a Manchester derby had been contested in an FA Cup final.

Sunday's semi-final draw was made immediately after United beat Liverpool 4-3 at Old Trafford in the sixth round.

There were also goals aplenty earlier in the day at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea beat Leicester 4-2 despite a bizarre own goal by Axel Disasi.

Holders Man City booked their place in the semi-finals for the sixth season in a row on Saturday by beating Newcastle 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

The first winners of a pulsating FA Cup quarter-final weekend were Coventry, who beat Wolves 3-2.
