The draw for the semi-finals of the F.A Cup has thrown up the potential of an all North-East derby affair. If Newcastle can overcome Arsenal a week on Saturday in their quarter-final replay, they will face North-East rivals Middlesbrough. No venue for the tie has yet been announced, although it is thought Old Trafford in Manchester is the likely spot, for whatever the clash may be.
In the other semi-final, Chelsea will face London rivals Fulham in another derby.
