Legendary striker Alan Shearer conducted the draw during half-time of the last of the quarter-finals between Newcastle United and Manchester City. We had booked our place at Wembley with a 1-0 win at Leicester City earlier in the day, Ross Barkley coming off the bench to get our goal.

We had previously beaten Nottingham Forest, Hull City and Liverpool to reach this stage, while Manchester United have made their way past Wolverhampton Wanderers, Tranmere Rovers, Derby County and Norwich City in the FA Cup this season.

The other semi-final will see Arsenal take on Man City, with both matches due to be played at Wembley across the weekend of 18 and 19 July. Exact dates and times for the ties will be announced in due course.

The two semi-final winners will return to Wembley for the final on Saturday 1 August.
