View all available markets at William Hill.

• Manchester City travel to Wembley to take part in their eight successive semi-final in this competition which is remarkable but having lost each of the last two FA Cup finals, they’ll be keen to go one step further and pick up their eighth FA Cup.
• Pep Guardiola’s side are full of confidence right now having put themselves at the top of the Premier League table with victory against Arsenal and most recently Burnley, Man City are 13/20 with William Hill on the -1 Handicap market.
• Out of nowhere really, Manchester City are on course of securing a domestic treble and given they’ve won four of the last six meetings between the pair (D1, L1), i’m expecting Pep’s side to continue that treble hunt.
  ——————————–
• Southampton have hit form at the right time and remain in the conversation in terms of an automatic promotion spot in the EFL Championship with just two games left to play, they head to Wembley unbeaten in their last twenty games.
• Tonda Eckert has done a magnificent job as the Saints boss having won twenty-three of his thirty-five games in charge thus far, with a win percentage of 65.7%, that twenty game unbeaten run also includes their 2-1 victory against Arsenal in the previous round.
• Southampton have won this competition just once back in 1976 but this is their second semi-final appearance in the last six campaigns, William Hill have the Saints at a huge 10/1 to cause another upset on Saturday.
