When are FA Cup semi-finals played?
With the quarter-finals wrapped, there will be almost a month before the next round, with the semi-finals slated for the weekend of April 16-17.
Unlike the first two rounds of the competition, the FA Cup semi-finals will not be resorting to a replay if a game is drawn at full time. If the score is level after 90 minutes, the game will continue with 30 minutes of extra time, followed by a penalty-kick shootout if the teams still can't be separated.
There will then be another gap of just under a month before the final takes place. As is traditional, it is scheduled for mid-May, with the showpiece game expected to go ahead on Saturday, May 14.
