FA Cup diversion awaits Champions League trio

By Mike Collett

LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea all have their sights set firmly on European glory in Rome after midweek triumphs but a trip to Wembley comes first this weekend when they aim to reach the FA Cup final.

United, who beat Porto to reach the Champions League semis after Cristiano Ronaldo's stunning goal, face Everton in their FA Cup semi-final on Sunday while Arsenal and Chelsea square up 24 hours earlier.

With just over a month of an intriguing season remaining, all three clubs are chasing silverware on multiple fronts.

Premier League leaders United are still on course for five trophies, having already won FIFA's Club World Cup and the League Cup, while Guus Hiddink's Chelsea have not given up on the league and face Barcelona in the Champions League semis.

Arsenal, for all their early season problems, could end their four-year trophy drought with an FA Cup and Champions League double after crushing Villarreal on Wednesday to set up a European showdown with United.

"We know how good Chelsea are but if we play our football we can beat any team in the world," Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor said after scoring against Villarreal on Wednesday.

Chelsea, who drew 4-4 with Liverpool on Tuesday to win an epic Champions League quarter-final 7-5 on aggregate, know they cannot afford to be as lax in defence as heir last two matches.

They conceded three goals to Bolton Wanderers in the League last Saturday and four against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
