West Ham will play Liverpool in this year's FA Cup Final should they beat Middlesbrough at Villa Park tomorrow.
Bookies favourites Chelsea were beaten 2-1 at Old Trafford in the first of the two semi-finals this afternoon by Liverpool, who led 2-0 through goals from Risse and Garcia before Drogba pulled one back for the Blues.Hammers old-boy Joe Cole missed a sitter in the dying moments to deny Chelsea a stab at extra-time, whilst another ex-Hammer - Frank Lampard - has a disappointing game - plus he was partly responsible for Liverpool's first goal after turning his back on Risse's free-kick.
West Ham - now the last London side left in the competition - look set to field a full-strength team in tomorrow's game after Anton Ferdinand and Danny Gabbidon recovered from injury scares, whilst 'Boro are still sweating on the fitness of Gareth Southgate.
However both Mark Viduka and Yakubu - who suffered slight injuries in midweek - are expected to be available for selection.
