Arsenal on course to face United

Arsenal and Manchester United are on course to meet in the FA Cup Final after they were kept apart in today's semi-final draw.

Arsene Wenger's side, who defeated Bolton on Saturday to reach the last four for the seventh time in the last eight seasons, will face Blackburn, while current holders United take on Newcastle.

The draw sets up the mouth-watering possibility of Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson battling it out at the Millennium Stadium in May to avoid finishing the season without any silverware.

However, Blackburn first-team coach Mark Bowen has warned Arsenal against complacency.

"We have never felt so wanted," said Bowen.

"Everybody wanted us [in the draw] but Arsenal will come a cropper if they take us lightly.

"We have got to make sure that it's not just a oneoff at the Millennium Stadium. Hopefully, we'll get to the final."

The ties will be played on Saturday 16 April and Sunday 17 April.
