Arsenal have been drawn to face Manchester City in the semi-finals of the FA Cup in Monday night’s draw.
The Gunners booked their spot in the last four of the competition with a 5-0 win over Lincoln City at the Emirates on Saturday.
Manchester City, meanwhile, saw off Middlesbrough thanks to goals from David Silva and Sergio Aguero.
Arsenal lost 2-1 to City at the Etihad earlier this season and are due to face Pep Guardiola’s side again in the Premier League on 2 April.
However, the last time the two sides faced each other at Wembley, Arsenal ran out 3-0 winners in the Community Shield thanks to goals from Santi Cazorla, Aaron Ramsey and a stunner from Olivier Giroud.
