City v United is the highlight of the semi-final draw
Prepare for the hype. Manchester's two grand football clubs will play off at Wembley for a chance to make the FA Cup final after the two were drawn together in the semi-final draw today.
And, unsurprisingly perhaps, it is United who are favourites to win the Cup and who will therefore go off as the jollies when the two get down to business.
The other semi pits Stoke, conquerors of West Ham, against Bolton, who ousted the Carling Cup champions Birmingham on Saturday.
Bolton are more fancied to make it an all-north west FA Cup final.
Head-to-head results so far this season suggest United should get the better of their close rivals - the Old Trafford outfit have a win and a draw from their two previous clashes with City.
Stoke and Bolton have one win each from their two league tussles.

Not the greatest of semis yesterday, even with it being a grudge, derby game. But Citeh were the better team, especially in the second half. It just didnt look a ManU side that we have seen over the past 2 months or so, and maybe the rotation of the squad had took the match edge off Berbatov... How did he miss...!!!
But from a neutrals point of view it may turn out to be a better Cup Final. Soke or Bolton wont fear Citeh as much had they to face manu in the final... So im look forward to todays offering with both teams in for a real chance of winning the trophy for the first time in Stokes case, and for a long time in Boltons...
Let the battle commence...
