Hakim Ziyech scored the only goal of the match as Chelsea booked their spot in a second successive FA Cup final courtesy of a 1-0 victory over Manchester City on Saturday evening.
The Blues, who lost to Arsenal in last season's final, will take on the winner of the second semi-final between Leicester City and Southampton for the trophy on May 15.
Man City's quadruple bid is now over, but Pep Guardiola's side can still win the EFL Cup, Champions League and Premier League in the coming weeks.
Chelsea had the ball in the back of the Man City net early on through Ziyech, but the effort was ruled out for offside, and a largely uneventful first period finished goalless.
Thomas Tuchel's side had the better of the opening 45 minutes, but opportunities were few and far between in the English capital, with both teams struggling for creation in the final third of the field.
Chelsea made the breakthrough early in the second half, though, when Timo Werner raced clear before delivering a low cross into Ziyech, who could not pass up the chance to convert from close range.
Ziyech had a golden chance to score a second four minutes later, but the 28-year-old fired straight into the body of Zack Steffen, before Ruben Dias headed a brilliant opportunity for Man City over the crossbar as the second period progressed.
The Citizens continued to move the ball in the latter stages as they searched for a leveller, but Tuchel's side, who had another goal ruled out late on for offside, held on to advance to the final of the FA Cup.
Man City will resume their Premier League campaign away to Aston Villa on Wednesday night, while Chelsea are next in league action at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday evening.

MAN OF THE MATCH - N'GOLO KANTE
Kante's performance for Chelsea was outstanding, and there is no question that the France international played an important role in his side advancing to the final of the FA Cup.
The midfielder's energy and work rate was infectious for the Blues, who defended excellently over the course of the 90 minutes, limiting Man City to very little in the final third of the field.
Kante has had his injury problems this term, but the 30-year-old demonstrated that he is still one of the leading midfielders in world football with his display at Wembley.
STANDOUT MOMENT
De Bruyne was forced off the field in the early stages of the second period, having seemingly picked up an ankle problem, which will be a huge concern for Man City at this stage of the season.
The Citizens are now out of the FA Cup but are still competing on three fronts and will not want to take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League without arguably their most important player.
