Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE text coverage of the second FA Cup semi-final! Bolton take on Stoke at 4pm (UK time) for the right to face Manchester City in the final of the oldest football competition in the world.

FACT! Stoke's only FA Cup success against Bolton Wanderers was back in 1928, when they won 4-2 in a fourth round tie.

FACT! Bolton Wanderers played in one of the last two FA Cup semifinals at the old Wembley Stadium on April 2, 2000. They lost 4-1 on penalties to Aston Villa after a goalless draw. Goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen is the only survivor from that match who will play this weekend.

Midfielder Mark Davies is back in the squad following an ankle problem, but is only deemed fit for the bench. For Stoke, Thomas Sorensen is named again in goal ahead of Asmir Begovic, with John Carew returning to the bench after a four-match absence.
