Jamie Carragher slams 'desperate' FA decision as Man City sent Liverpool warning

Jamie Carragher has admitted he is unsurprised by the decision of the FA to keep Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final versus Manchester City at Wembley Stadium.

Calls have been made by both the Labour party and supporter groups this week for next month's match to be moved to a neural venue after it became clear that supporters of both sides would face severe travel issues accessing the national stadium when the sides go head-to-head on April 16.

No trains will run from either Liverpool or Manchester on the weekend of the final due to pre-planned engineering works taking place over Easter weekend, though this was a challenging situation the FA were made aware of back in 2019. Fans travelling by rail now face major complications to reach Wembley and will be forced to make alternative arrangements to overcome this frustrating news.
