Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish makes plea to FA to avoid playing FA Cup semi-final on Hillsborough date After securing Liverpool's last-four spot, possibly against neighbours Everton, Dalglish made it clear he expected his club to play on the first of the two semi-final dates at Wembley on Saturday, April 14. Liverpool. have never played on the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, April 15, as the date is set aside for the traditional memorial service for families and supporters which is held at Anfield. Requests to the FA, Premier League and Uefa have always been met with a sympathetic response and there is an understanding by the club that a similar agreement will be put in place. "We won't play on the 15th," said Dalglish. The FA and Uefa have always been exemplary and very supportive, and that's great credit to them, so I don't think it's even suggesting that we might play on the 15th because we won't. We've never played on the 15th before, have we? So there you are, why would they change now? An official request has already been made to the FA on behalf of the club. The possibility of playing Everton at Wembley for the first time since 1989 - the year of the Hillsborough tragedy - would make it an emotional occasion for the city of Liverpool. "Merseyside will be hoping Everton get through and everyone can have a day out again, but Sunderland is a really difficult place to go and get a result," said Dalglish. Chelsea's 5-2 victory over Leicester City secured their place to meet Tottenham or Bolton, who must rearrange their quarter-final following their abandoned tie on Saturday after the collapse of Fabrice Muamba.
