The FA in association with the BBC and BT Sport have named the date, broadcaster and kick off time for both Arsenal v Manchester City and Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur.

The first semi-final between the London clubs is scheduled to take place on Saturday 22 April, with a kick off of 17:15 GMT. BBC One will broadcast the game.

The second semi-final between Arsenal and Manchester City will take place the following day at 15:00 GMT, live within the UK on BT Sport.

Both games will take place at Wembley Stadium and ticketing for both games will be divided equally between both sets of supporters at 32,000 tickets.

I am away that weekend, I hope I am back but will record it anyway COME ON CITY!

if you knew you will not win the FA Cup, would you rather lose at Wembley in the Final or semi Final
 
Unsurprisingly City fans are less than pleased at the FA and the decision to schedule the game featuring the only non-London club for Sunday afternoon, whilst the all London tie I see played on the Saturday.

No wonder City fans feel stitched up by the authorities.

"FA face backlash following release of cup semi-final dates"

This follows on from the FA cup tie against West Ham being scheduled for 8pm on a Friday; the league game against the Hammers at the London stadium being played at 7.45pm on a Wednesday; the away game against the dippers being moved to. 5.30pm kick off on New Years's Eve and the forthcoming away game against league leaders Chelsea scheduled for 8pm on 5th April. One would be forgiven for thinking that they really wanted to suppress the support from City fans. But they won't succeed in their evil plan :033:
