Manchester City struggling to sell out 33,000 allocation for FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal, with supporters unhappy with the FA's decision to schedule the match on a Sunday

Manchester City are struggling to sell their allocation for Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final, with fans criticising the scheduling of the Wembley clash with Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola’s club were given around 33,000 tickets for the fixture in the capital.

Arsenal, who have been given a similar allocation, sold out more than a week ago.

However, with just three days to go before the match, Sportsmail understands between 1,500 and 2,000 tickets in the City section remain unsold.

Supporters of the Etihad Stadium club have hit out at the decision to schedule the clash between City and the Gunners on Sunday, rather than the Saturday slot allocated for the other semi-final between London pair Chelsea and Tottenham.
