BBC to show Crystal Palace-Aston Villa semi-final
Published
The FA Cup semi-final between Crystal Palace and Aston Villa will be shown live on BBC One on Saturday, 26 April (17:15 BST kick-off).
Palace have never won the FA Cup despite reaching the semi-finals for the third time in 10 seasons, while Aston Villa are chasing a first major trophy since 1996.
The tie will also be shown on the iPlayer and BBC Sport website.
The other semi-final, between Nottingham Forest and Manchester City the following day at the national stadium at 16:30, will be shown on ITV.
Two-time winners Forest, who are third in the Premier League and chasing a place in next season's Champions League, are looking to reach a fourth FA Cup final - and first since 1991.
