It caps a remarkable season for Gracia and his team who weren’t overly fancied prior to the campaign.

The Hornets are currently eighth in the Premier League and winning the FA Cup would be the tip of the iceberg.

Following yesterday’s draw, it was announced that Watford will face Wolves in the last four.

Manchester City were quite clearly the team to avoid and they will take on Brighton and Hove Albion in the other semi.

Given the current togetherness within the squad, the Hornets will fancy beating anyone and the contest with Wolves looks set to be a cracker.
