Chelsea interim manager Roberto di Matteo expresses his disappointment at the FA over the scheduling of his side's FA Cup semi-final against Spurs

Chelsea interim manager Roberto di Matteo has expressed his disappointment at the FA over their scheduling of his side's FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Blues will kick off at 6pm against their London neighbours on Sunday, April 15.

However, Di Matteo had asked the FA to consider the game being played on the Friday night due to the possibility of a Champions League semi-final on Wednesday, April 18.

"I'd say that common sense hasn't prevailed," said the Italian. "I'd be happy with a Friday night kickoff.

"We've tried to cooperate with the authorities and given them our point of view. It seems that it's not been really taken into consideration."

Chelsea have the chance to reach the Champions League semi-finals when they defend a one-goal lead against Benfica at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
