Wembley

Chelsea await the winners of Sunday’s F.A Cup semi-final between United and Everton. Guus Hiddink's men secured a 2-1 win over Arsenal at Wembley to book their place in May showpiece finale. Theo Walcott handed Arsenal an early lead, but the Blues struck back thanks to goals from Florent Malouda and Didier Drogba.
The two teams enjoyed Champions League success during the week - but this semi-final was a poor game and proved a disappointing advert for the world's best domestic cup competition.
Chelsea, who were runners-up to United in last season's European Cup, could face the Red Devils in yet another Cup final this season. If Sir Alex's men beat Everton on Sunday, then May's showpiece game will be a repeat of the 2007 final which Chelsea won 2-1 after extra-time.
Hiddink's side had seen off Southend, Ipswich, Watford and Coventry on their way to Wembley.
