FA CUP: Chelsea tackle Manchester United

Stamford Brigde will be on fire tonight when Manchester United take on the defending champions, Chelsea for a place in the quarter final of this season’s FA Cup.

While the home side are still basking in the euphoria of their Europa League victory over Malmo, Manchester United will look to bounce back from their 0-2 home defeat to Paris Saint Germane in the UEFA Champions League.

Chelsea could become the first club to eliminate the Red Devils in five consecutive FA Cup meetings. Recall that Manchester United lost last season’s final to Chelsea courtesy of Eden Hazard’s goal.
