Coventry City vs Man United - FA Cup semi-final: Live score, team news and updates as Erik ten Hag's side look to avoid cup upset to make second consecutive final

What a day today could be for Ellis Simms.

The 23-year-old starts up top for Coventry today and is looking to knock out the club he has seen as rivals for most of his life.

Chris Wheeler, Mail Sport, spoke to Simms about his journey and what today means in an exclusive interview.

It's a brilliant read, I must say.

Mark Robins, Coventry City manager, speaking to ITV:

Manchester United's problems at the back simply won't stop.

It seems like a new defender is injured every week, and that doesn't change today as Willy Kambwala is out.

Casemiro is being trusted to line up alongside Harry Maguire - United's only fit centre-back - which is a huge boost for Coventry.

There is no doubting Casemiro's ability as the anchor in midfield, he has been one of the world's best for years, but even his exploits in the midfield aren't quite what they used to be.

How will he cope at Wembley today?

Nathan Salt, Mail Sport, at Wembley Stadium:

Mark Robins makes two changes.

Callum O'Hare and Josh Eccles come into the side, replacing Victor Torp and Kasey Palmer.

Is this the side that can cause another upset?

Wow, Casemiro is set to start at the heart of the defence, Manchester United's defensive troubles continue.

Willy Kambwala misses out through injury, hence why Casemiro starts at the back, so Scott McTominay comes into the midfield as the only change.

How are the nerves United fans?

Here they are.

Surely excitement is building for everybody, both sides have arrived at Wembley ready to do battle.

The Coventry players have had a look at the pitch and they certainly look happy to be there - lots of smiling being done.

The team news is just minutes away, who can we expect to see?

Mark Robins, Coventry City manager, on Saturday:

What a journey Coventry have been on!

It's safe to say their route to the semi-final has been exciting to follow. They swept aside Oxford United, Sheffield Wednesday, and Maidstone United before a midlands derby with Wolves in the quarter-final.

I remember exactly where I was for that match, I was sitting with a Coventry fan in their living room and I have never seen anybody celebrate a last-minute winner quite like it.

The Sky Blues dominated the Premier League side, but after they relinquished their 1-0 lead late on, they looked down and out =.

However, two stoppage-time strikes brought bedlam from the away end, and stunned Molineux. It was one of the wildest endings to a tie I have ever seen.

Now here they are, back at Wembley. Can they put the cat amongst the pigeons once again?

Nathan Salt, Mail Sport, at Wembley Stadium:

I think it's fair to say that Manchester United have not been in the best of form recently.

United's last win in all competitions actually came in the FA Cup, against Liverpool, and what a win that was.

On paper, Erik ten Hag's side are huge favourites to progress to their second final in as many years, but football isn't played on paper.

Coventry have endured a fabulous run in the competition, they are the highest scorers in the FA Cup proper this season.

Today is a massive day for the Sky Blues and their supporters, they won't make life easy for United whatsoever.

It's going to be an enthralling semi-final!

Ready for another one?

I love FA Cup semi-final weekend, it’s one of the best of the season. After getting to enjoy one fabulous affair, you get to enjoy it all over again a day later.

So, now we know one half of the FA Cup final, but who is going to meet holders Manchester City on Saturday 25 May?

Coventry fans never thought they’d be back so soon after they left Wembley 11 months ago following their playoff final defeat to Luton Town, but the Sky Blues stand between Manchester United and a replay of last year’s final.

The sun is intermittently coming out in London and Wembley is looking as stunning as ever, it’s a glorious day for it.

Let’s get this show on the road!
