Pep Guardiola's side will play their last four fixture on the weekend of Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26, after an Erling Haaland hat-trick and a finish from Antoine Semenyo secured victory over Arne Slot's team.
City are chasing a domestic treble this season, having beaten Arsenal 2-0 in the Carabao Cup final before the March international break. They also sit nine points off the Premier League-leading Gunners with a game in hand over Mikel Arteta's men.
And it has been a dramatic weekend of FA Cup action with Arsenal crashing out at Championship side Southampton on Saturday evening. The 2-1 win at St Mary's Stadium has put Saints in their first cup semi-final since 2021.
Meanwhile, Chelsea thrashed League One strugglers Port Vale 7-0. The West London side have not won football's oldest domestic cup since 2018.
The only FA Cup fixture taking place on Sunday is between Premier League relegation battlers West Ham and Leeds in east London (4:30pm BST). The semi-final draw will take place after that match finishes.
