United-City, Blackburn-Villa cup semifinals off

Blackburn: The first leg of both Leauge Cup semifinals have been postponed because of heavy snow and extreme weather in northern England.

Blackburn was due to host Aston Villa on Tuesday, while Manchester City was to play Manchester United on Wednesday.

While the Ewood Park and City of Manchester Stadium pitches are deemed playable, accessing the stadiums would have been dangerous due to the heavy snowfall and ice covering surrounding roads.

However, Stoke said it remained "confident" of hosting Fulham in Tuesday's only Premier League match after working to clear roads around the stadium.

Everton also canceled a news conference Tuesday to mark the start of Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder Landon Donovan's three-month loan spell.
