The dates of the FA Cup semi-finals have been announced, with both Manchester United and Manchester City participating after winning their quarter-final matches last weekend. They are on track to play each other in the final for the second consecutive season after being placed in separate brackets during the semi-final draw. City will take on Chelsea in the first semi-final at 5.15pm on Saturday, April 20. The match will be broadcast live on BBC 1. On Sunday, April 21 at 3:15pm, Manchester United will face Coventry City, a team from the Championship, in the second semi-final. The game will be broadcast live on ITV. The start times were arranged in collaboration with the clubs, local authorities, Safety Advisory Group members, and broadcasters. The police determined that both matches posed a medium level of risk. City will face another challenge this week as they strive to achieve a repeat of last season’s treble victory. They will play against Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday night, followed by a trip to the capital three days later. The Blues had suffered three consecutive losses in FA Cup semi-finals before defeating Sheffield United at this point last season on their way to winning the treble. Manchester United has already been eliminated from Europe, so they will have a free week before their own semi-final match. They are set to play against Bournemouth on Saturday, April 13, and their next game will be the following Sunday at Wembley. More details will be provided soon. We will provide you with the most recent information on this developing news story.
