Liverpool and Manchester City have each received 34,000 tickets for their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley

The Football Association's planning for the FA Cup semi-finals is "one of the most ridiculous stories I ever heard", says Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

The Reds will meet Manchester City at Wembley on 16 April. But engineering works scheduled for the West Coast Main Line that weekend mean no trains are available for fans travelling from the north west to London.

"It makes absolutely no sense," said Klopp. "I'm not sure what the FA thought - no club from the north west will be part of the semi-finals">
