What TV channel is Man City v Sheffield Utd on? Kick-off time, how to watch FA Cup semi-final, who is referee

Manchester City and Sheffield United go head-to-head in the first of the two FA Cup semi-finals taking place at Wembley Stadium this weekend.

Last season's Premier League champions are clear favourites to progress, but their Championship opponents, managed by ex-Hibs boss Paul Heckingbottom, are on a terrific run of form and are now just one win away from securing promotion back to the top flight.

City are fighting on three fronts - chasing down Arsenal in the EPL title race and into the semi-finals of the Champions League - and are bidding to reach their second FA Cup final since Pep Guardiola took charge in 2016. The Blades, meanwhile, have already shown that they are not to be taking lightly having earlier knocked out Tottenham on their way to a first semi-final in the competition since 2014.

Either Manchester United or Brighton await the winner in the final. Here is everything you need to know ahead of the match...
