Big Match Alert: FA Cup Semi-Finals BBC to Broadcast Chelsea vs. Manchester City Showdown!

I’m thrilled to share that the football gods have blessed us with two electrifying FA Cup semi-finals at the majestic Wembley Stadium! As someone who lives and breathes football, I can barely contain my excitement.

First up, my beloved Manchester City, the reigning champions, effortlessly sailed past Newcastle in the quarter-finals. They’re now gearing up to face Chelsea on 20th April- oh, what a match that will be!

Chelsea, after their heart-stopping victory over Leicester, are back at Wembley, and I can’t wait to see them clash with City. The kickoff is set for 5.15 pm GMT (1.15 pm ET), and you bet I’ll be glued to the BBC iPlayer abroad for this one.

But wait, there’s more! In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Manchester United stunned Liverpool in a match that’s already a classic in my heart. They’ll now face the only dreamers left from outside the Premier League, Coventry City.

The Championship side’s miraculous comeback to oust Wolves has been the stuff of legends. Their battle begins at 3.30 pm GMT (11.30 am ET). I’ll be in front of my screen, cheering, screaming, and living every moment.

The FA issued a statement saying:

These kick-off times were agreed with the clubs, local authority, members of the Safety Advisory Group and broadcasters, and both matches were deemed medium risk by the police.

Both matches at Wembley? It’s like a dream come true. May 25th, the final day, can’t come soon enough. Oh, the glory that awaits back at the home of English football!
