In order to guarantee a spot in the Champions League the next season, three of the four teams—City, Villa, and Forest—are also aiming for top-five Premier League finishes.
Which is more important, winning the FA Cup or making it to the Champions League?
The first semi-final between Crystal Palace and Aston Villa is scheduled for Saturday at 17:15 BST on the iPlayer, news, and sport app.
Nottingham Forest will play Manchester City for a spot in the final the next day at 16:30.
A top-five finish in the Premier League ensures at least eight games in Europe’s top club competition, while the winners of English football’s championship match at Wembley on May 17 are assured a major trophy and a spot in the Europa League for the following season.
