City and Reds ready for FA Cup showdown
Sixteen-goal Lions rout Scrabble in Cup BY DAVID SAFFER
Manchester City and Liverpool meet in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley this weekend. The winner will face Chelsea or Crystal Palace in the final next month. For neutrals it’s disappointing the Premier League giants clash at the last four stage. Hopefully this ‘Battle of the Giants’ clash will match a classic 2-2 draw in the league last Sunday.
