Arsene Wenger bemused by Saturday TV clash

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has questioned the “conflicting” scheduling of Arsenal's FA Cup semi-final and the Chelsea-Manchester United Premier League tie.

The Gunners take on Reading at 5:20pm on Saturday, in a game which will be shown live on the BBC. However, just 10 minutes later, the Premier League leaders will kick off on Sky Sports against third-placed United at Stamford Bridge.

Under Premier League broadcast deals, the selection of Chelsea versus Manchester United was set back in February, when the FA Cup semi-finalists were still unknown. The Football Association and rights holders BBC and BT Sport decide independently on the weekend slots for their competition.
