Rafael Nadal and Kei Nishikori can set-up a mouthwatering final at the Barcelona Open if they come through Saturdays semi-finals. Two-time defending champion Nishikori will firstly face Benoit Paire, while top seed Nadal plays in the other semi-final against Philipp Kohlschreiber.Nadal is targeting a second successive trophy after winning last weeks Monte Carlo Masters and he demonstrated his battling qualities in a 6-2 7-6 win over Fabio Fognini in the quarter-finals. He has won 12 of his 13 previous matches against Kohlschreiber, but the pair have not shared a court since Nadals straight sets win over the German in Beijing, back in 2013.Nishikori is trying to complete a hat trick of title wins at the clay court tournament and he ruthlessly sealed a 7-5 6-0 win over Alexandr Dolgopolov in the quarter-finals.But Nishikori is fully aware of the threat posed by Paire, who has beaten the Japanese player in their last two matches. Nadal is seeking more silverware after winning the title at the Monte Carlo Masters Paire was just a few points away from defeating Andy Murray in Monte Carlo before the Brit battled back to claim victory.And Nishikori has suffered a semi-final loss to Paire before, slipping to a three set defeat against the Frenchman in Tokyo last year.You can watch todays semi-final matches at the Barcelona Open from 12.30pm on Sky Sports 5.

United scored from the resulting free kick, with Van Persie pouncing after Marouane Fellainis header was parried out by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.Chelseas lead has been cut to four points by surprising Southampton but Jose Mourinhos unbeaten team is now six points ahead of third-place Manchester City, arguably its biggest rival for the title.Still this was an opportunity lost by Chelsea, which threw away two points in Manchester like it did a month ago a month ago when conceding late in a 1-1 at City.Is it a good result? I dont think so, Mourinho said. Was it a good performance? Yes.United stayed 10 points behind Chelsea but is showing great fighting spirit under Louis van Gaal, having also scored late in a 2-2 draw at West Bromwich Albion on Monday.Ive said to the players we could have won, Van Gaal said. And when you can do that again the best team in this league at this moment it is a good sign.I am pleased that they are fighting to the end.A draw was arguably a fair result in a match that pitted two of world footballs best tacticians in Mourinho and Van Gaal, who mentored the Portuguese coach during thheir time together at Barcelona from 1997-2000.ddddddddddddThey shared a warm embrace before kickoff for their first head-to-head meeting since the 2010 Champions League final. On that occasion, Mourinhos Inter Milan beat Van Gaals Bayern Munich for a win for the pupil over his master.Four years on, they are widely regarded as two of the most wily, respected managers around and it was always likely to be a tight, tactical affair at Old Trafford. That was how it turned out.The first half ebbed and flowed with each goalkeeper having only one genuine save to make. Courtois spread himself well to deny Van Persie, who had run onto a through-ball from the lively Adnan Januzaj in the 23rd minute as United made the faster start.At the other end, Drogba — starting a league game for the first time in his second spell at Chelsea with top scorer Diego Costa and Loic Remy unavailable — drove a shot at goal from Oscars cut-back but it was kept out by the feet of David de Gea.De Gea did even better to deny a low shot from Eden Hazard at the start of the second half after the winger dribbled through the heart of the United defence. However, the goalkeeper wasnt helped by the defending from the resulting corner.Drogba drifted to the near post and leapt above the diminutive Rafael de Silva to meet an inswinging cross from Fabregas with a header that flew between Van Persie and the near post. Van Persie had left his position on the post, only to belatedly retreat and was off-balance when the ball went past him.The Dutchman made up for it with his late intervention in the final scheduled minute of injury time.It was not our best performance. Thats a pity, because at this moment you have to show yourself against the better teams, Van Gaal said. But we have created more chances than Chelsea.
