    What odds Chelsea get Soton and the winner of this tie gets City?

    Which would mean Ole would have to beat every other team in the top 6 to win the FA cup.
    City (1)
    Leicester (3)
    Chelsea (4)
    West Ham (5)
    Liverpool (6)

    Why do you care who Leicester will get?

    Leaked United team
    A United team has leaked:
    Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles, Matic, Fred, Pogba, Van de Beek, Martial, Greenwood.
    That is completely unconfirmed and it would be a bit of a shock if Van de Beek and Pogba are starting.
     
    Ew. Best way I can describe that team if it's right. I don't get us randomly playing potentially a diamond? When did we last do that. If it's not a diamond, it's Pogba in his wrong position? Unless he's on the left again?

    Looks about right to me. Midfield diamond with Pogba left and VDB at the peak, resting Bruno.
     
    Are you all confident of a win today? I just looked up our historical head to head and realized that since our iconic 3-5 loss to them under Van Gaal, we have not lost to them since. Won 9 and drew 4. Seriously I hope we beat them as we need to at least make it harder for City to win the Quadruple. We are realistically the only team that can beat City these days. Maybe Chelsea too now that they have Tuchel, but Ole has the better of Guardiola strangely.
     
    Honestly think us in the FA Cup is the best chance of stopping a City quad. We’re bound to go out here.
     
    Starting line-ups




    EDIT: Not sure if the Leicester video embeds or not, it's not appearing here, but their lineup is: Schmeichel, Fofana, Evans, Söyüncü, Albrighton, Ndidi, Tielemans, Castagne, Pérez, Iheanacho, Vardy
     
    Good squad, Bruno and Shaw rested, no James, Henderson kept his place.
     
    A lot of faith shown in Martial and VdB with Cavani and Bruno on the bench. Hope they have a blinder. If we can overcome the tiredness of midweek we'll win.
     
    4-2-3-1 with Pogba on the left wing or 4-3-1-2 / 4-1-2-1-2 with Pogba on the left of Matic and Donny behind the 2 strikers ?
     
    Line-up doesn't fill me with confidence but I'm hoping key players will turn up.

    At least we've got options on the bench.
     
    Not many players who will run in behind, but got some good technicians in there. Hopefully, we can move the ball quickly and work some good openings.
     
    Great to see finally VDB starting, and he will play badly because he barely gets to play and can't get a from going, plus the playing out of his position, which will make people flame him again saying he is a bad player which couldn't be more further from the truth. Usual stuff.

    That aside, I am really hoping for a decent game of football, our games lately have been such a dross to watch.
     
    I didn’t see this eleven coming...
    Really thought DDG was going to play.
    Never thought Donny and Pogba would start. Am happy about it though.
    I hoped he would rest Shaw but didn’t think he would.
    Thought he would play Bailly. Is he injured or is there something going on behind closed doors?
     
    I like the lineup. Good to see VdB and Martial back. Glad we rested Shaw and Bruno, and Rashford hopefully can be left out of the national team. Wan Bissaka will get his rest the next 2 weeks.

    Hopefully we can put in a big performance. Need Pogba and Martial to step up big time.
     
    Surprised at that many changes especially with an international break right after this. Leicester seem to be at full strength so this is going to be a very tough game I would think.
