The scenes at Villa Park after Saturday's FA Cup tie
The FA has contacted both Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion to request their observations in relation to the disturbing crowd incidents which occurred during and after their FA Cup quarter final tie on 7 March 2015.

As well as liaising with both clubs, The FA is working closely with West Midlands Police and notes that a number of arrests have already been made. 

All available video footage will be studied by the relevant parties to identify anyone who has committed a disorder offence inside the stadium and ensure they face the appropriate punishment. 

Whilst its investigation continues, The FA will make no further comment.
