Arsenal reached the FA Cup final for the second successive year when they beat Middlesbrough 1-0 in today's first semi-final at Old Trafford.
A 39th-minute own goal by Boro defender Gianluca Festa - seven minutes after the Italian had come on as substitute for the injured Ugo Ehiogu - maintained the north London club's hopes of securing a second League and Cup Double in four years.
Middlesbrough started brightly, but Arsenal's France internationals Sylvain Wiltord and Thierry Henry missed glorious chances to put the game out of reach early in the second half.
The second semi-final, between Chelsea and Fulham, kicks off at 7.00pm at Villa Park, with Arsenal meeting the winners in the final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on May 4th.
