Vincent Kompany and Micah Richards talk to ESPN

Manchester City team-mates Micah Richards and Vincent Kompany relished the prospect of facing rivals United in the FA Cup semi-finals after a 1-0 win over Reading at Eastlands.

Richards netted the second-half header which separated the sides and set up a semi-final with United.

The England defender told ESPN: ''We're looking forward to it, it's going to be a great game.''

Belgian defender Kompany added: ''I will let you guess how much the next opponent will mean to us. There's no easy way to the final. We're looking forward to it.''

Kompany also paid tribute to Championship side Reading, who kept the scores level until 16 minutes from the full-time whistle.

''Credit to them. They gave us a hard time. We had a lot of chances so I think it's fair,'' Kompany said.
