Crystal Palace and Aston Villa kick off the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley Stadium this afternoon.
It is the first FA Cup meeting between the two sides since 2010, when Villa required a replay to knock the south London club out following a 2-2 draw in the original match at Selhurst Park. John Carew’s brace of penalties made the difference for Villa that day, but the onus will be on Ollie Watkins to send the Villans to a first FA Cup final since 2015, when they were beaten 4-0 by Arsenal.
