FA Cup 2006 - 2007: Dramatic Final Is Set at New Wembley


Watford will face Manchester United or Middlesbrough in the FA Cup semi-finals, while Blackburn will take on Chelsea or Tottenham.

Monday's draw means the Premiership's top two sides could be set for a dramatic FA Cup final meeting at the new Wembley Stadium.

Both teams must overcome tricky replays before confirming their place in the last four, with Chelsea meeting Tottenham at White Hart Lane and United facing Middlesbrough at Old Trafford.

Blackburn will play the winner of Chelsea against Spurs and the top flight's bottom club Watford face a tricky tie against United or Boro.

The ties will be played on the weekend of April 14 and 15. Venues are to be announced.
