Match facts:

  • This is the 12th time the sides have been paired together in the FA Cup. Of the 11 previous ties, Manchester United have won eight and Chelsea three. The Blues have prevailed in both ties since the turn of the century - winning 1-0 in the final in 2007 and 1-0 in a sixth-round replay at Stamford Bridge in 2013.

  • Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 11 league and cup games against United (W6, D5), and have only conceded three times in the last nine encounters.

  • The Reds have only won two of their last 19 league and cup games at Stamford Bridge (D6, L11).

  • The last time United lost an FA Cup tie away from Old Trafford was their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in 2013.

  • The Reds have progressed in 10 of their last 13 FA Cup quarter-final ties.

  • Jose Mourinho has never lost an FA Cup quarter-final.

  • United's 4-0 loss at Stamford Bridge in October was Mourinho's heaviest defeat in English football - and his worst since his Real Madrid side lost 5-0 to Barcelona in 2010.

  • This will be United's 46th competitive game of the season, but only Chelsea's 34th.

  • Marcus Rashford has scored four goals in his six FA Cup appearances for Manchester United.

I've seen a few people lately mention how they wouldn't mind losing this but I have to disagree. I think winning this could change this season from meh to potentially pretty great. This is also our first time coming up against a top team in a while so I want to see what this team can do to make up for that 4-0. I'm sure it'll be on Jose's mind.

I'd never want us to lose a game, but i am not confident in the slightest.

Most definitely not confident. Hard to see where this Chelsea team has weaknesses. Every single one of our players needs to turn up, especially Pogba, and he hasn't turned up to one big game yet

Winner plays either:

Arsenal

City

Spurs/Millwall

Don't hold much hope for this. As long as we go out and have a go at them, and don't concede in the first minute and roll over again like last time.

How good would a win against Chelsea feel though? Can't even remember the last time we beat the cocky bastards.

Fuck it. I hope we smash them

This game is perfect to see where we are at relative to a good team away from home. It's the perfect test ahead of going away to man city, arsenal and spurs. Hopefully we raise our game! I won't be too concerned if we lose so long as it's not an embarrassing performance.

I'll sit back and await the Jose bashing when we lose....

Do you guys think Jose was testing out that 3-5-2 for this game? I think he might go with it to try and counter Chelsea's system.

No. He was adapting to the conditions, that's all.
