Manchester United will meet Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals after City overcame Reading in the quarter-finals on Sunday.
City were far from their best against the Championship side, but Micah Richards crashed in a second-half header to secure a 1-0 win.
United beat City 2-1 in the Premier League last month thanks to a wonder strike from Wayne Rooney.
Bolton Wanderers were paired with Stoke City in the other semi-final ties.
Stoke City stayed on course for a first-ever FA Cup final appearance when they beat West Ham United 2-1 in a quarter-final full of controversial refereeing decisions at the Britannia Stadium on Sunday.
Stoke are into the semi-finals for the first time since 1972 thanks to Danny Higginbotham's winner.
Manchester United overcame Arsenal 2-0 at Old Trafford while Bolton downed Birmingham City 3-2 in the other quarter-final played on Saturday.
The ties will be played at Wembley Stadium on April 16 and 17.
