The BBC and BT Sport have announced their semi-final picks for the 2019/20 FA Cup with both games due to take place at Wembley Stadium over the weekend of 18-19 July.
The semi-final line-up features three of the FA Cup’s four most successful sides, with Arsenal the record 13-time winners.
First up will be the Gunners’ clash against Manchester City on Saturday, 18 July, exclusively live on BT Sport 1, with that tie to kick off at 7.45pm.
Free-to-air highlights of the opening semi-final will be shown later in the evening on BBC One.
The two sides will meet at Wembley for the third time in three years after meetings in the 2017 FA Cup semi-final and the 2018 League Cup final.
Arsenal won the previous semi-final 2-1 and went on to defeat Chelsea in the final, but that remains the last time they have overcome City.
The following day will see Manchester United take on Chelsea, which will be screened live on BBC One, kicking off at 6pm.
Manchester United, who beat Norwich to reach the last four, have won the FA Cup 12 times, while Chelsea, who edged past Leicester in the quarter-finals, have eight wins.
Both matches will be played behind closed doors and winning clubs will return to Wembley for the Heads Up FA Cup Final, renamed this year to raise mental health awareness, on Saturday, 1 August, live on BBC One and BT Sport.
