This weekend, the eagerly-anticipated FA Cup semi-finals will kick off, with Championship side Sheffield United taking on Manchester City and Manchester United facing Brighton Hove Albion. Man U fans will be hoping for a repeat of 1983, when the team triumphed over Brighton in the semi-finals of the FA Cup with Gordon Smith missing a last-minute penalty for Brighton. If the games end in a draw after 90 minutes, they will first go to extra time. If after 30 minutes of extra time, the teams are still level, the game will then go to penalties to determine which team progresses through to the final. Both teams will take five penalties each and if they are still level after that, sudden death penalties begin, where the first team to go ahead after an equal number of spot-kicks wins. Replays have been scrapped from round five onwards to ease fixture congestion caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The FA released a statement in December to announce that there would be no replays for the third and fourth round in 2021/22. Ties in these rounds will be played to a finish on the day, with extra-time and penalty shootouts if required.
