FA Cup fixtures on TV – confirmed schedule for semi-finals
The FA Cup returns soon with the semi-finals of the world's oldest football competition – and every game is live on TV
The FA Cup is ready to cut into the onslaught of Premier League fixtures with just four teams left in the hunt for silverware in 2020.
Defending champions Manchester City are still in the mix to record back-to-back FA Cup successes after beating Newcastle 2-0 at St James' Park.
But they will face a tricky test in the shape of Arsenal who have made it through to the final four – chasing their fourth FA Cup trophy in seven years – after edging beyond Sheffield United in a tight encounter at Bramall Lane.
In the other tie, Manchester United's young guns will be desperate to rack up their first trophy as a next-generation unit under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's leadership.
They face Chelsea at Wembley with Frank Lampard hoping for a glorious end to his first season in charge of his beloved Blues.
Lampard's men were not expected to challenge for honours in 2019/20 given the club's transfer embargo, Eden Hazard's departure and general turmoil, but they remain in the hunt for a Champions League place and a shot at the FA Cup.
The magic of the cup will endure lockdown, but which game are you most looking forward to before the competition finally draws to a close?
