FA announce free travel for 5,000 Manchester City and Liverpool fans for FA Cup semi-final
After calls for the Wembley semi-final to be moved venues, the FA have revealed plans to provide free travel for fans from Liverpool and Manchester.
Liverpool and Manchester City are set to duel it out at Wembley on April 16, with the winner booking a spot in the FA Cup final.
On Friday it was confirmed that the match would kick-off at 15:30 GMT, but fans are facing challenges when it comes to travelling down to the capital.
Due to engineering works over the Easter weekend, no trains are running from the north west down to London, leaving fans from Manchester and Liverpool without a direct route.
