Coventry City
Confirmed: kickoff time, date, and TV information for Manchester United vs. Coventry City FA Cup semi-final
Manchester United face Coventry City in the semi-finals of the FA Cup at Wembley Stadium next month.
The FA has confirmed that Manchester United’s FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City will be held at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, April 21, with kickoff at 3.30pm.
United advanced to the competition’s final four with a dramatic 4-3 comeback victory over Liverpool last weekend, looking to improve on last season’s runners-up finish.
Coventry, managed by United hero Mark Robins, advanced to the final four for the first time since winning the famous competition in 1987, and only the second time in the club’s history, after coming from behind to defeat Wolves last weekend.
The Metropolitan Police deemed United’s semi-final clash with Coventry a ‘high-risk’ fixture, forcing the FA to change the kick-off time, according to reports on Friday. The FA had originally requested that the match take place at 4pm on Sunday afternoon, but the kick-off time has now been moved up by 30 minutes to 3:30pm.
That means United and Coventry will know their potential FA Cup final opponents before they meet, while City and Chelsea will face off at 5:15pm on Saturday, April 20.
