The assignment will be made up of fans of both teams, as well as local residents and NHS staff, who will be offered tickets as a way to thank their work during the pandemic.
Then there will be a surge to 21,000 fans by May 15, when the FA Cup concludes with its masterpiece at Wembley Stadium.
It is part of a larger program to introduce the crowds, which includes billiards, comedy, film and business events.

“This science-led pilot program will be the springboard to regain the excitement of live performances.
“We have supported sports and the arts with unprecedented sums, but now is the time to bring that great British summer of live events to life.”
Last year’s runners-up Chelsea play City in the first FA Cup semi-final on April 17.
A day later, Leicester faces Southampton, and a crowd of 4,000 is expected to attend.
