Jordan Henderson would have preferred to see the Football Association move Liverpool’s FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City to a neutral venue nearer the north-west rather than stage it at Wembley next month.
Liverpool’s captain was dismayed to learn that the tie, to be played on Easter Saturday, takes place on a day when engineering works dictate there are no direct trains from the region to London. Since then the FA has announced it will charter a free return bus service from Anfield and the Etihad Stadium to Wembley for up to 5,000 fans from each club but Henderson remains unconvinced.
