It is boring Saturday night.
For those who are fans of EPL, La Liga, Serie A or other leagues, this weekend may not be excited as another weekend due to International Football Friendly Match. The match might be bored as it is truly "friendly" match even involve the battle between some of the giant countries.
I am not going to talk on EPL tonight but focusing on the recently FA Cup Semi Final Draw. The semi-finals will take place over the weekend of 21-22 April. Unfortunately for those three semi-finalists as Spurs, Chelsea and Manchester United were dumped out from Champion League Round 16.
There will be no repeat on last year semi-final battle as Chelsea will not face against their London rival Spurs but Southampton which now lying in 18th EPL table.
The first semi-final will be Spurs vs Manchester United which can be said Spurs is playing at home due to the match venue is Wembley. Can Spurs repeated their 2-0 victory again Manchester on last January again? It is might be interesting as I personally was at Wembley to witness the fastest EPL goal from Eriksen. The availability of Harry Kane will be vital as he still keyman of Spurs even Ali, Son and Eriksen well performed recently without him. For MU, Mourinho most likely will play defensive tactic first then waiting for counterattack by Lukaku, Rashford or Sanchez.
Hughes was a Chelsea player who wins the FA Cup in 1997, however, he needs to have extra hard work to secure a victory for his former club Chelsea in another semi-final battle. Should Southampton concentrate on the relegation battle compare FA Cup will be another question whether they will play full force against Chelsea or not. On the other hand, Chelsea should be no problem to secure a comfortable win in Wembley even they also focusing on the top four Champions League spot battle. Their performance against Leicester on Quarter Final also not encouraging as a need to wait for the extra time to secure a win thanks to Pedro.
Will it repeat again on last year FA Cup Final which including both clubs from London? Let's wait after 22 April
