Liverpool and Manchester mayors want FA Cup semi-final switched from Wembley

The FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Manchester City should be moved from Wembley, say the mayors of both cities.

The game is scheduled to take place on the weekend of 16 and 17 April.

However, engineering works mean no trains are running from either city to or from London from 15 to 18 April.

Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, and Liverpool mayor Steve Rotheram both say the game should be held at a "more accessible stadium".

City subsequently said they will provide 50 coaches offering subsidised travel for supporters, with places available for £40 each.
