? Liverpool will play semi-final on 14 April

The Football Association has confirmed Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final against either Everton or Sunderland at Wembley will be played on 14 April, ensuring that the Reds will not have to play on the 23rd anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.

The tragedy, which occurred on 15 April 1989 when Liverpool were up against Nottingham Forest in an FA Cup semi-final, claimed the lives of 96 Liverpool fans.

The Liverpool manager, Kenny Dalglish, said on Monday that the club would not play on the anniversary of the disaster. "I don't think it's even worth a line in a paper that we might play on the 15th because we won't," said Dalglish. "We've never played on the 15th before, have we? So there you are. Why would they change now?"

The second semi-final in the 2012 competition between Tottenham or Bolton and Chelsea will take place on 15 April.
