FA Cup Semi Final 2024

The FA Cup semi-finals are set to take place this weekend with two mouth-watering clashes on the cards. In the first semi-final, Manchester United will take on Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium. United will be looking to reach their first FA Cup final since 2018, while Palace will be aiming to make it to their first FA Cup final since 1990.

The second semi-final will see Newcastle United take on Southampton at St. James' Park. Newcastle will be hoping to reach their first FA Cup final since 1999, while Southampton will be aiming to make it to their first FA Cup final since 1976.

Both semi-finals are sure to be close affairs and there is everything to play for.

Manchester United vs Crystal Palace

Manchester United will be looking to reach their first FA Cup final since 2018 when they take on Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium on Saturday. United have been in good form in recent months and will be confident of beating a Palace side who have been struggling for form lately.

United will be without the suspended Casemiro for the match, but they will be boosted by the return of Marcus Rashford, who has been in excellent form this season.

Palace will be hoping to cause an upset and reach their first FA Cup final since 1990. The Eagles have been struggling for form in recent months, but they have a good record against United and will be confident of getting a result at Wembley.

Palace will be without the injured Wilfried Zaha for the match, but they will be boosted by the return of Eberechi Eze, who has been out since August.

Newcastle United vs Southampton

Newcastle United will be hoping to reach their first FA Cup final since 1999 when they take on Southampton at St. James' Park on Sunday. Newcastle have been in excellent form this season and will be confident of beating a Southampton side who have been struggling for form lately.

Newcastle will be without the suspended Bruno Guimaraes for the match, but they will be boosted by the return of Allan Saint-Maximin, who has been out since January.

Southampton will be hoping to cause an upset and reach their first FA Cup final since 1976. The Saints have been struggling for form in recent months, but they have a good record against Newcastle and will be confident of getting a result at St. James' Park.

Southampton will be without the injured Kyle Walker-Peters for the match, but they will be boosted by the return of Stuart Armstrong, who has been out since December.

Prediction

Both semi-finals are sure to be close affairs, but I think Manchester United and Newcastle United will edge out Crystal Palace and Southampton respectively.

Manchester United have more quality in their squad and I think they will be too strong for Palace. Newcastle have been in excellent form all season and I think they will be too strong for Southampton.

I predict that Manchester United will beat Crystal Palace 2-0 and Newcastle United will beat Southampton 3-1.
