When are FA Cup semi-finals played?
The quarter-finals are set to finish on March 20, leaving nearly a month until the semi-finals, which are set for April 16-17.
The first match will take place on Saturday, April 16, followed by the second semi-final on Sunday.
In contrast to the first two rounds of the competition, if a game is drawn at full time, the FA Cup semi-finals will not go to a replay. If the score is still tied after 90 minutes, the game will be extended for 30 minutes of extra time, followed by a penalty-kick shootout if the teams are unable to be separated.
