When is the FA Cup semi-final draw? TV and time details, Man City ball number

Manchester City and Southampton will not have to wait too long to discover FA Cup semi-final opponents after a last-eight tie between the sides at St Mary's Stadium this afternoon (3pm).

With a trip to Wembley in sight, the Premier League rivals are set to get down to business on the south coast. They do so needing only three more victories to pick up the world-famous trophy.

As far as City are concerned, the FA Cup represents an opportunity for them to replicate the historic treble won by neighbours Manchester United in 1999. Pep Guardiola and his star-studded side are still in the Champions League as they also continue their Premier League title race with Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp and his challengers represent a possible opponent for the victors at St Mary's. Here are the key details you need to know ahead of the semi-final draw.

When is the FA Cup semi-final draw?

The semi-final draw will take place on Sunday, March 20 before the last remaining tie between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool. By that stage, three of the four teams will have been confirmed. Coverage of the draw will be shown live by ITV at around 5.30pm.

When will FA Cup semi-final ties take place?

Both matches will be played beneath the famous arch at Wembley - on April 16 (Saturday) or April 17 (Sunday). This would mark a change to the Premier League fixture between Wolves and City should Guardiola's men progress.

What are the ball numbers?

1 - Crystal Palace or Everton (12.30pm KO)

2 - Nottingham Forest or Liverpool (6pm KO)

3 - Chelsea

4 - Southampton or Man City (3pm KO)
