MANCHESTER UNITED will face Tottenham in the FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea hosting underdogs Southampton in the other half of the all-Premier League draw.
Jose Mourinho will aim to oust Mauricio Pochettino's side while Antonio Conte will clash with former Stamford Bridge striker Mark Hughes.
Blues midfielder N'Golo Kante knows just how important the world's oldest cup competition is for his side.
Chelsea have lost their Premier League title to Manchester City this season but a Sunday night win over Leicester has them well-placed for an FA Cup final win.
Kante said: "I think Leicester played very well. It was important for us to win that.
"It is the only title we can have this season and we have to fight to the end."
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino will not have to worry about preparing his side for the trip after making Wembley their home this season.
The Tottenham gaffer said after his side knocked Swansea out: "There is still a long way to go, we are now in the semi-final and even though we feel we are close, we are far away still.

"We have the opportunity to try and get to the final.
"Things have changed at Wembley, no? The perception and feeling is different.
"Seven months ago it was horrendous, now we are comfortable and happy to play there."
Mourinho has a tough task motivating his side for their Wembley trip after turning on them after their stale win over Brighton.
Among some of his most morose comments, he said: “A few other guys, I saw them scared to play. I cannot say much more. It is a relation with personality, is a relation to trust, is a relation to class.
"When the sun is shining and everything goes well, you win matches, you score goals, everything goes in your direction, every player is a good player and wants to play and wants the ball and looks amazing and is confident.
"When it is dark and cold, and in football that means a period of bad results or a bad result, not everybody has the confidence and personality to play really.
