The FA is marking the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster by delaying the kick-offs of all Premier League, Football League and Conference matches by seven minutes, with the same procedure being followed in both the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley.
Arsenal's tie with Wigan Athletic will now kick off at the national stadium at 5.07pm on Saturday 12 April, while Hull City v Sheffield United will begin there at 4.07pm the following day. A minute's silence will be held at these games and at all league matches from Friday 11 to Monday 14 April in the final minute before the delayed kick-offs.
The FA Cup semi-final on 15 April 1989 between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, when 96 fans lost their lives, was ended six minutes after kick-off because of the crush in Hillsborough's Leppings Lane End.
