The long wait to walk up that famous Wembley way is nearly over as four, rather than the once-traditional two, teams prepare to play on the hallowed turf.
But while the excitement surrounding the upcoming semi-finals may have disappated somewhat iN recent times, here at Ladbrokes News we still can’t get enough of everything and anything FA Cup related.
All of which goes some way to explaining why we have put together a rather unique looking quiz that could see you test your wits on all things Wembley and semi-final related.
So why not take on the Professor and see just how much you know about FA Cup encounters involving “the final four” over the years.

2. How many goals were scored across last season’s two FA Cup semi-finals?
3. Since winning the FA Cup in 2004, Manchester United have twice been eliminated from the competition at the semi-final stage – can you name the two teams to dump them out?
