FA stance on FA Cup semi-final at Wembley as Liverpool and Man City travel chaos looms

The Football Association expects around 2,500 Liverpool supporters will be impacted by the lack of trains to London for the weekend of their FA Cup semi-final with Manchester City.

But the governing body are almost certain to go ahead with the match at Wembley, despite repeated calls to reschedule to a venue in the north next month. Both sets of supporters face a logistical nightmare getting to London for the semi-final clash due to there being no running trains from the North West to the capital over the Easter weekend.

Avanti West Coast confirmed it will not be running any trains into London Euston from April 15 to 18 because of engineering work that is scheduled to take place across a number of locations. The travel company said further work is also slated on the West Coast Main Line, which will cause further alterations and disruption.
