The two semi-finals are hard to call. They're two really good games.
Nottingham Forest are going along nicely. They've had some good breaks with the penalty shootouts but they're more than capable of sitting in and beating City.

The only player with more is Exeter's Josh Magennis, who scored six goals in four games.

Man City's player of the match Nico O'Reilly, speaking to BBC Sport: "My instructions were to get involved as much as I can.
"It was good to get the contributions with the two assists - I was buzzing.
"I'm grateful for the opportunities I get from the manager and playing with the best players that are out there."

For all the "stay humble" jokes Arsenal are dishing back at City, hilariously City may well be the ones that end the season with a trophy.

Image source, Getty ImagesMan City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to BBC Sport: "It was more hard for them [Bournemouth]. We played an outstanding game and had incredible chances, missed a penalty. We conceded with one chance we gave away. Our approach was magnificent. Seven times in a row semi-final in the FA Cup, no team has done it and it will be difficult for any other to do what these legendary players, the new ones and the old ones, will have done."
On seven semi-finals in a row: "It is unbelievable. The way we competed today compared to the way we played in the first game here [in the Premier League]. I was not good enough to overcome that situation then. We were sloppy for many games and I was not able to let them realise is what they have done today. For example Brighton was a difficult game, we didn't play our best but we fought. This is what had to happen".
On Nico O'Reilly: "He is an attacking midfielder. He is physical, he is strong. He is really, really good."
On what he changed at half-time: "The first half we played with the same intensity as the second. The difference was that we played better with the ball with more composure - we were more calm. I said at half-time, we have the game in our hands."
On whether they will appoint a new penalty taker after Haaland's miss: "Absolutely not. Against Brighton he scored."
On facing Nuno Espirito Santo's Nottingham Forest in the semi-final: "Sometimes we've lost when we've performed well. In the home game we won 3-0 so when we lose one game it looks like a disaster. It's not true. They are third in the table, they are a very good team and we are pleased to play against them in Wembley with our fans."
On how he would sum up the campaign if the FA Cup is the one title his side win this season: "We won one title already. We won the Community Shield, we won it. This season has been poor, nothing is going to change. It has not been good, that is not going to change. Last year we played in a final and could not win it. We have an incredible target to qualify for the Champions League next season and that is what we are going to try to do."
FT: Bournemouth 1-2 Man City
But Erling Haaland has failed to convert three of his last six penalties for Manchester City (two saved, one off the woodwork) - after scoring each of his previous 11, between September 2023 and August 2024.
That includes in penalty shootouts.
FT: Bournemouth 1-2 Man City
Manchester City’s Erling Haaland became the first player to score 30 or more goals in all competitions in each of his first three seasons while playing for a Premier League club since Ruud van Nistelrooy for Manchester United (from 2001-02 to 2003-04).
FT: Bournemouth 1-2 Man City
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, speaking to BBC Sport: "I think the game is quite clear to analyse - the first half was good from us.
"We played the game we needed to play, but we couldn't keep it for the second half.
"Then we have not been the team we wanted to be.
"The players have started to lack the same energy and we have not improved much.
"Today we have had suspensions, the injuries from past games and in the end the depth of the squad is always very important.
"Unluckily for us we couldn't kept the same level that we showed in the first half.
"We have to change and play in three days. We will try to recover the energy and we play against Ipswich here and we need those three points."
On James Tavernier's injury: "He had issues around the ankle and I think he is going to be out this week."
FT: Bournemouth 1-2 Man City
Manchester City restricted Bournemouth to just five shot attempts, the joint-fewest for the Cherries in a game under Andoni Iraola, with both instances coming against Man City (previously five in a Premier League meeting in November 2023).

Bournemouth have not won any of their five FA Cup home games as a top-flight side against fellow top-flight opposition (D1 L4).
They have lost all three of their quarter-final matches in the competition (v Manchester United in 1957, Southampton in 2021 and Manchester City in 2025).
FT: Bournemouth 1-2 Man City
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola speaking to ITV1: "I think the game first half we played very well but second half the game was for them. We couldn't keep the same intensity level, we were not as aggressive and we were a lot more passive.
"Even with the changes, we were lacking energy, especially up front. We were not able to play at the same level we did in the first half."
On whether Kepa should have saved Omar Marmoush's goal: "Yes probably. There is a chance but overall I don't think we lost because of this. Overall I think we were better in the first half, we played the game we wanted to play but second half they were better and we couldn't affect the long possessions. We were not dangerous enough."
On whether the injuries/suspensions in the side had a negative impact on the side today: "Yes. It isn't just the starting eleven. It gives you good options from the bench to give us the same level. I felt David Brooks, Evanilson, after 50 minutes or something - they can play but they don't play at the same intensity level, the press is not the same as before. We couldn't maintain that level."
On the goals for the team for the remainder of the season: "We need to recover quickly because we are playing in three days against Ipswich and try and win. We need to go again with the three points and improve our position."

Finally from Man City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to ITV: "Comparing the game we played in November - we came here with flipflops, we came hare for the holiday against a team that competes.
"Today, we were a team and we challenged. In football you have to run.
"We love the FA Cup. Hopefully, we can reach the final.
On Erling Haaland's injury issue: "I don't know yet."

"Seven times in a row reaching semi-finals in the FA Cup.
"I am sorry to tell you, but this is outstanding. This generation of players, they have done this.
"To come here one of the toughest away places to come.
"After the impact from Nico [O'Reilly] was really good, but not just him - really pleased that we reach the semi-final, again."
On Nico O'Reilly's impact: "Not just young players, but the old players as well. Today, Bernardo [Silva], Gundo [Ilkay Gundogan] and Kevin [De Bruyne], you know they are really good.
"Nico scored two goals against Plymouth and the impact today was outstanding.
"He's going to play in semi-final for sure!"

Man City's Nico O'Reilly speaking to ITV1: "I am just trying my hardest every game and trying to help the team out as much as I can and I'm glad I've been able to do that so far."
On what Pep Guardiola told him to do: "He was just telling me to run in behind, try and get high, come inside when the winger goes outside and I was just trying to do that."
On which assist of his two he preferred: "They were both important so I'm happy with both."
FA Cup highlights: Bournemouth 1-2 Manchester City
Manchester City kept their trophy hopes for this season alive by coming from behind at Bournemouth to set up an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest.
Evanilson's scrambled 21st-minute finish put the Cherries ahead at half-time and left City boss Pep Guardiola facing the prospect of ending a campaign empty-handed for the first time since 2016-17, his debut season at the club.
Erling Haaland had a first-half penalty saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga and wasted two other golden opportunities as City struggled for rhythm in the face of Bournemouth's intensity.
But Guardiola worked his magic at the break by sending on Nico O'Reilly for Abdukodir Khusanov, and four minutes into the second half the 20-year-old - operating at left-back - created the equaliser with a perfect cross for Haaland to turn in at the far post.
Another change, this time enforced, allowed City to go ahead after 63 minutes. O'Reilly played in Omar Marmoush, just on for the injured Haaland, and the Egypt attacker's strike crept under Kepa who should have done better.
Marmoush gives Man City the lead against Bournemouth
Guardiola insists even an FA Cup win would not salvage a season that has been mediocre by the standards of a side that reeled off a historic four successive Premier League titles.
There was, however, no disguising the City manager's burning desire to add another trophy to his haul and avoid the rare ignominy of ending a campaign without silverware.
He picked a strong side and his animated, often frantic, body language from the first whistle showed how much he wanted another trip to Wembley for the semi-final.
Guardiola's experienced line-up was full of serial winners - and he acted decisively when they reached half-time in arrears against this energetic, skilful Bournemouth side.
He removed the struggling Khusanov to send on O'Reilly, putting him at left-back and switching Josko Gvardiol into the centre.
Guardiola's switch gave City the cutting edge they had lacked as O'Reilly first set up Haaland with an inviting delivery then provided an assist for match-winner Marmoush as the visitors dominated the second half against the fading Cherries.
The only cloud for City was the injury to Haaland that forced him off after an hour, with the striker appearing to twist his left ankle in a touchline tangle with Lewis Cook.
This was a display that highlighted City's flaws and strengths, but the habit of winning trophies is one that will die hard for Guardiola and his players.
Haaland misses penalty against Bournemouth
Bournemouth's hopes of a dream Wembley appearance were lifted as they led City at the break - but ultimately they can have no complaints as they were over-powered by the visitors' strength and quality in the second half.
For 45 minutes, Bournemouth had played on City's nerves - especially at the back, where their intense pressing made life a misery for Matheus Nunes and Khusanov in particular.
They scrambled Nunes' senses to such an extent that he was twice involved in Bournemouth's goal, first of all inexplicably gifting possession to Cook then failing to track Justin Kluivert as he set up Evanilson's finish from on the goalline.
Bournemouth were on a high but Guardiola's half-time alterations changed the game and Andoni Iraola's side could not respond.
The Cherries missed the influence of two of their most significant performers this season in the suspended Milos Kerkez and Dean Huijsen.
Hungary's Kerkez gives Bournemouth an extra dimension in defence and attack, while Huijsen's qualities at the back might just have applied more shackles to City.
In the end, this will be a bitter disappointment for Iraola and his team, who have offered so much this season and will have had the FA Cup firmly in their sights, but City's class told when the pressure was on.

Bournemouth won 2-1 against Manchester City the last time they faced in November, having not won any of their first 21 meetings with the Citizens in all competitions (D2 L19).
This is the first ever FA Cup meeting between Bournemouth and Manchester City. It’s just the third time the Cherries have faced the reigning English champions in the competition after March 1957 (1-2 v Manchester United) and January 1961 (0-1 v Burnley).
This is just Bournemouth’s third appearance in the FA Cup quarter-finals, losing 2-1 against Manchester United in 1956-57 and 3-0 against Southampton in 2020-21.
Manchester City have won their last seven FA Cup quarter-final ties, with these coming in the last eight campaigns (exception being 2017-18). Their run of reaching the semi-final in six consecutive campaigns is already a record in the competition.
Bournemouth have progressed from their last two FA Cup ties against top-flight opponents (against Everton and Wolves in this season’s fourth and fifth rounds), as many as they had in their previous 17 such ties.
Manchester City have won their last 14 away games in the FA Cup, scoring 40 goals and conceding 10. Their last defeat on the road came at Wigan in February 2018, with their last four losses in the competition coming at Wembley Stadium.
Antoine Semenyo has had 14 shots in the FA Cup this season, with half of these coming in Bournemouth’s fifth round tie against Wolves. Only Luke Molyneux (19) has had more shots in the competition proper this term.
Kevin De Bruyne has been involved in 13 goals in his last 10 appearances in the FA Cup (3 goals, 10 assists), both scoring and assisting in Man City’s 3-1 win against Plymouth Argyle in the fifth round.
