FA Cup semi-final on same day as Grand National
Manchester City’s bid for the quadruple will continue on April 6 after they were handed the first FA Cup semi-final tie. The 2011 winners will face Brighton at Wembley on the Saturday with Wolves taking on Watford at the national stadium 24 hours later. City’s game – which will be live on BBC1 – will kick off at 5. 30pm, 15 minutes after the start of the Grand National at Aintree.

Wolves, who beat Manchester United 2-1 in the quarter-finals on Saturday, play Watford at 4pm on Sunday, April 7, a match broadcast live on BT Sport 2. Each of the four clubs will be allocated around 33,000 tickets for their own supporters. The post FA Cup semi-final on same day as Grand National appeared first on teamtalk.com.
