North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur were kept apart in the FA Cup semi final draw, but will either make it through?

The Gunners will take on Manchester City while Tottenham face Chelsea, and both are likely to be narrow underdogs for their fixtures.

One man who is hopeful is former Arsenal goalkeeper Rami Shabaan, who played for the Gunners between 2002 and 2004.

He sent a message out on Twitter expressing his hope that Arsenal can go on and beat Tottenham in May.

Simply getting past Manchester City is likely to be tough for Arsene Wenger’s side, with Pep Guardiola’s team winning the most recent contest between the two teams.

Wenger is under pressure, and reaching the final will take the pressure off, but the Frenchman may not survive a final loss against either Tottenham or Chelsea.

Beating Spurs or Chelsea of course could provide the perfect way for Wenger to sign off as Arsenal manager and bow out gracefully, but they must get there first.
