'A season teetering between defining glory and missed opportunity'

Aston Villa's FA Cup semi-final place at Wembley brings a sheen of success to a season that is fascinatingly teetering between defining glory and missed opportunity. It also drops yet another fixture into a jam-packed April that already includes a two-legged Champions League quarter-final against Paris St-Germain and pivotal Premier League games. For Villa, the first of hopefully two trips to Wembley offers a vital safety net.
