It’s Man City v Forest and Palace v Villa in the FA Cup semi-finals

From The Totally Football Show with James Richardson The Athletic

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Tim Spiers into the studio after FA Cup quarter-final weekend.

Man City come from behind to beat Bournemouth and progress to a 7th successive semi-final. Can Pep’s side save this from being a trophyless season? And is Bournemouth’s campaign petering out?

City will face Nottingham Forest at Wembley, who beat Brighton in another penalty shootout. Hear more on why Forest have managed to have a successful season, including wearing dark glasses indoors.

Tim went to see Palace in a clinical victory at Craven Cottage. Should they be favourites against Villa, given they’re one of the form teams in the country?

Plus the Premier League returns this midweek with the Merseyside Derby and with two under-pressure managers meeting in Maresca and Postecoglou.
