Recent form

Aston Villa have only lost once in the Premier League since their 4-1 loss to Crystal Palace on the 25 February – their most recent Premier League game against Manchester City after a last minute Matheus Nunes strike.

Crystal Palace come into this semi-final off a 2-2 draw with Arsenal but despite drawing their two most recent Premier League games, they conceded five goals in both the previous two before that. They lost 5-2 to Manchester City on 12 April before losing 5-0 to Newcastle just four days later, and have won just one of the last

What has been said?

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner says that his side are looking forward to the match and are not phased by the occasion.

“Playing in the semi-final is always great. We’ve done well in the cup competitions until now, but now it’s just about the semi-final. Of course, it’s a huge game at Wembley, and we’re looking forward to it.

“It’s a football game, and we feel well prepared. We’ve got confidence, especially with the performance at the Emirates and this is how we will enter Wembley.”

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery: “As a coach, my challenge when I arrived here was to get some trophies during the way. This is one opportunity because we’re in a semi-final, but there is still a lot of work to do.

“When you’re getting experiences and getting some trophies during those experiences, the most important thing I enjoyed and learned was on the way, not the end. How we are doing this year in the FA Cup is really amazing.

“This is the process I want to enjoy. I want to enjoy the semi-final and everything we are going to do, from the way we are doing, travelling to London, being together, preparing the match, having some meetings, the atmosphere tomorrow in Wembley. The objective is to win, but the process is the really important thing.”
