The FA Cup semi-finals have arrived - and you can keep up with all the action across the BBC.

The first semi-final between Manchester City and Southampton will be shown live on BBC One, as well as on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.

There will be live radio coverage of both matches across BBC Sounds, plus live text updates from each game on the BBC Sport website and app.

Southampton are the only non-Premier League team into the final four, and will look to become the first second-tier side since 1980 to win the competition.
