Hello hello.
We began with 124 in the first round proper, and round-by-round it has been whittled down, 84, 64, 32, 16, 8 and finally to just four. Brighton, Manchester City, Watford and Wolves have survived the rigours of a cup run, an eclectic bunch of Premier League battlers on their way to Wembley for the semi-finals.
The first of these comes this evening, a clash between sides in contrasting form, one seeking to continue their quadruple pursuit, the other in something of a free fall in the league, this semi-final providing welcome distraction.
Manchester City and Brighton duel for the first spot in the 2019 F.A. Cup Final, and kick-off is not too far away…
