semi final draw

[Alex the Blue]

First team out of the hat plays first game at home.

Away

Isn't it usually the home team who gets drawn first in any pairing? So; if it came out as Manchester City vs Liverpool, wouldn't we be at home first?

The team drawn first gets the perceived advantage of playing at home in the second leg

Do we play home or away first if we get drawn first.

this a serious question? if we're drawn first we play at home first, like any other cup draw thats ever been made.

Doe's anybody know the correct answer i always thought 1st out of the hat plays at home 1st but it looks like a fifty fifty split on here.

Unless this is a piss take mate, you were right the first time. If we are drawn first, then we are at home first like always.

No piss take from me. I honestly am not sure any more. I just assumed it was the standard format for a cup draw; first team drawn in any given pairing is at home. I could well be wrong though; God knows it wouldn't be the first time!

Well I can assure you sir that you are 100% correct! If drawn first we are at home, if not we are away.
