The Blues have faced off against the Gunners just three times previously in the competition with the last meeting some 46 years ago when the London side were 2-1 victors at Maine Road in the 5th Round thanks to a brace from Charlie George.
This will be just the second time City and Arsenal have met at Wembley following the 2014 FA Community Shield which resulted in a comfortable 3-0 win for Arsene Wenger’s side.
City booked their place in this year’s final four with a 2-0 win at Middlesbrough on Saturday lunchtime whereas the Gunners ended the spirited dream of non-league Lincoln City in clinical fashion running out 5-0 winners on Saturday evening, having seen-off Sutton United, Southampton and Preston in the previous three rounds.
Ticket info for the FA Cup Semi Final will be available on mancity.com in due course.

Ties to be played on 22/23 April
As a result of the draw, City v West Brom, originally scheduled for 22 April will be rearranged.
