Holders Manchester United will head to Manchester City in the semi-finals of the Women’s FA Cup, while Chelsea will host Liverpool.

The Manchester rivals also met in the League Cup quarter-final in January, with City winning 2-1 on their way to booking a place in next Saturday’s final against Chelsea.

Liverpool are in their first FA Cup semi-final since the 2016-17 season.

Both ties are scheduled to take place on Sunday, 13 April and will be broadcast live across the BBC.

The final, which takes place on Sunday, 18 May, will also be shown live on the BBC.

Last year’s winners United clinched their place in the last four for a third season in a row with a 3-1 win over Championship side Sunderland on Saturday.

In the first of Sunday’s three quarter-finals, City were 2-0 winners over Aston Villa.

Current Women’s Super League leaders Chelsea beat bottom-of-the-table Crystal Palace 1-0, while Liverpool edged Arsenal 1-0 away from home courtesy of a Daphne van Domselaar own goal.

Should City and Chelsea win their respective ties and meet in the final, it would mean they will face each other for a sixth time in all competitions this season.

The two League Cup finalists will also face each other in the Champions League quarter-finals, either side of a WSL meeting between them later this month.

Betfred Super League

Wigan (10) 44

Tries: Farrell (2), Eckersley, Marshall, French, Wardle, Field, Leeming Goals: Keighran (6)

Huddersfield (18) 18

Wigan Warriors shook off their Las Vegas jetlag to score six second-half tries and leave Huddersfield Giants still seeking their first Super League win of the season.

Huddersfield were the better team in the first half and led through scores from Adam Swift, Sam Hewitt and George Flanagan, with Liam Farrell and Zach Eckersley keeping the home side in touch at the Brick Community Stadium.

The Giants had led at the break in their three previous matches before losing, and this time they found Wigan in irresistible form in the second half after they had looked sluggish following their history-making jaunt to Nevada last week where they beat Warrington.

The opening 40 minutes had looked very different, as Huddersfield took the game to the Warriors, dominating midfield and looking like anything but a team that has lost its first three games.

They lost influential playmaker Tui Lolohea to illness before kick-off but that meant 20-year-old Flanagan forged a dynamic half-back partnership with Adam Clune, making his first appearance of the season after injury.

The excellent Clune sent Swift over for an acrobatic finish and, after Farrell and Eckersley had shown how clinical Wigan can be with two quick tries in reply, Hewitt edged the visitors back in front before Flanagan finished a brilliant move to give Huddersfield an eight-point lead at half-time.

The game turned from the restart as Wigan’s Tyler Dupree was pinged for a knock-on, Farrell made a successful captain’s challenge to the decision, and Wigan went up the other end to score through Farrell after Swift fumbled a high kick from Harry Smith.

The England scrum-half took control after that with a masterclass of kicking, passing, attacking breaks and sound defence.

Liam Marshall’s trademark athletic finish in the corner edged Wigan ahead, and then Smith’s stunning 40-20 kick set up another attack which ended with French pirouetting over the line despite the attentions of three tacklers.

Wigan were irresistible by this point and Harvie Hill and Leeming both had tries ruled out by video review as Giants struggled to cope with the whirlwind of attacking play coming at them.

Field stole some of Smith’s limelight by sending Jake Wardle over for a try against his old club, and then threw an outrageous dummy to race clear for his own fifth Super League try of the season.

Wigan Warriors coach Matt Peet said:

“Huddersfield came to play. They’ve been leading in all their games at half-time, and we were aware of that.

” We knew we’d have to be good for the first half and beyond to get over the top of them, and I just liked the way we went about our business.

“I thought the crowd played a big part, their energy probably lifted us in key moments, so credit to them, and yeah, I like it.

” We’ve got a good record when we go ahead in games, but it’s also good to face a different test sometimes. We spoke about it being a good challenge for us, and we didn’t get carried away one way or the other.

“I think they]the players] have enjoyed this week. They look after themselves. They’ve not made too much of a thing about it, to be honest”.

Huddersfield Giants coach Luke Robinson told BBC Radio Leeds:

“I need to go in the dressing room and ask some questions, and I need them to come up with some answers, because we are putting ourselves in a position to win games.

” Every single game we’ve played, we’ve been winning at half-time and looked really strong, and then we come out and make some really silly, selfish decisions.

“We ripped the ball, then another where we took somebody off the ball, and we don’t deal with kicks. The game was in our hands and it’s so frustrating.

” The game was ours to be won. The 40-20s killed us as well, when we looked like getting back into the game – it zaps your energy and takes away field position.

Wigan: Field, Eckersley, Keighran, Wardle, Marshall, French, Smith, Byrne, Leeming, Thompson, Nsemba, Farrell, Ellis.

Interchanges: Dupree, Hill. Walters, Forber.

Huddersfield: Gagai, McGowan, Bibby, Sutcliffe, Swift, Flanagan, Clune, Cudjoe, Murchie, Hewitt, Wilson, Golding, Rogers.

England (21) 47

Tries: Willis, Freeman, Sleightholme (2), M Smith, T Curry, Earl Cons: F Smith (6)

Italy (17) 24

England are best placed to take advantage of any final-day slip-up by Six Nations leaders France after they moved up to second in the Six Nations table with a seven-try victory over Italy at Allianz Stadium.

Wing Ollie Sleightholme crossed twice in an ultimately comfortable victory, but the hosts were made to sweat early on with Italy scoring two superb tries to stay within four points at half-time.

However, two scores in two minutes early in the second half, from replacement Marcus Smith and flanker Tom Curry, broke the visitors ‘ resistance and allowed England to see out the match in unusual comfort after a series of home cliff-hangers.

Tommaso Menoncello’s angled run repaired some of the damage, but was never going to switch the course of the contest.

However, England will be without centre Ollie Lawrence for their final-round trip to Cardiff after he was carried off with a serious-looking Achilles tendon injury, which could also affect his chances of joining this summer’s British and Irish Lions tour.

England will take on Wales in the second match of ‘ super ‘ Saturday on 15 March, kicking off at 16: 45 GMT at the Principality Stadium. They are one point behind France, who play Scotland in Paris later in the day, but 82 worse off in points difference.

Any pre-match thoughts of making significant inroads into France’s points difference advantage was pushed from Twickenham’s minds in the first half as the visitors shot back with accuracy and flair.

Tom Willis had battered over for the fastest try of the championship in a little over three minutes, while Elliot Daly – picked ahead of Smith at 15 – claimed well in the air and hit some good lines and the front row emerged from the first scrum with a penalty.

There was not to be a replica of France’s 11-try round-three rout of the visitors, though.

Italy full-back Capuozzo was the beneficiary for their first try as clever kicks ahead by Paolo Garbisi and Monty Ioane found space and pulled England’s defence out of shape.

Capuozzo later turned creator, thrillingly slicing through England with a scalpel-sharp change of direction to open up a route for Exeter’s Ross Vintcent to canter over.

England traded blow for blow with a cute Daly grubber, putting Tommy Freeman into the corner before good work from Ollie Chessum down one wing created space for Sleightholme to dive in the opposite corner.

They could easily have been behind on the scorecards at the start of the second half as well.

Italy surged straight into attack and wing Matt Gallagher was zeroing in on the corner, only to be chopped down by the covering Smith, on at 15.

A little over a minute later, Smith pelted up on Curry’s shoulder to take a pop-pass and scorch round Capuozzo to make it 28-17.

The passage proved to be a decisive swing in the momentum. Curry burrowed over two minutes later and Sleightholme had his second soon after when some improvised offloading, including by Jamie George on his 100th England appearance, beat the cover defence.

With Fin Smith slotting all six conversions in an impressive performance off the tee, England motored 42-17 clear.

England head coach Steve Borthwick told BBC Sport: “The injury to Ollie Lawrence resulted in an reorganisation of the backline but I thought the players managed that really well. It looks like he injured his Achilles but we don’t know to what extent.

” The way the team accelerated the scoreline was really good. This Italian side is really well coached and their battle at the breakdown is fierce. When we got quick ball and the contact area right, we took our opportunities.

England hooker Jamie George, whose mum Jane died in February 2024, spoke to BBC Sport about winning his 100th cap: “The whole week has been a little bit overwhelming. I am very thankful to everyone who has made it very special.

” My mum is on my mind all the time. She would have loved being here and will be looking down very proud today. It is an emotional day. I am super happy with the people who are here but do miss the one who isn’t.

“After missing the Ireland game I was just desperate to be out there, it reminded me how much I love playing for this team. I’ve had three amazing games.

“You have to be consistent for the whole 80 minutes and that’s the most important thing for us. We showed some pretty good things, especially in attack, but our mistakes put us under pressure.
