Result Arsenal 5 Portsmouth 1

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has warned FA Cup semi-final opponents Manchester United that his side can play much better than they did in the 5-1 thrashing of Portsmouth.

The Barclaycard Premiership big guns have been pitted together in the last four in a remake of the 1999 semi-final, while the other match is an all-Nationwide League affair between Sunderland and either Tranmere or Millwall.

The next round will be good as Man U and Arsenal go head to head,the way Arsenal are playing you have to favour them but you can never count out Man U.

It will be good to see a first division club in the final aswell.
