  • 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.

[–]BHButcherKing Eric 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

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

[–]ShamrockStudios 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Arsenal and spurs he was good don't know where this narrative came from.

[–]D1794Viva Ronaldo[S] 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Winner plays either:

Arsenal

City

Spurs/Millwall

[–]GonzoXIManUtdScholes 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

So if Spurs win, this turns into a top four clash. It will make the final very exciting, and the competition overall very difficult. It feels like because we currently hold the trophy that the other teams are gunning for it. I'd kind of like to defend it, but realistically the EL or getting top 4 are more important.

If we won I'd love to get Arsenal next. Then city in the final would be perfect.

[–]xken760xMoutinho 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I like the idea of two derbies in the semi finals and us taking on Arsenal in the finals

[–]Willszz1De Gea 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

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.

[–]ScientificShrimpRvN 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (2子コメント)

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.

[–]burnedgoatAnder 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

October 2012.

[–]ccdewaMartial 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Damn didn't realize it's that long, we have 4 manager after that and still can't beat them ugh

[–]keving691Mkhitaryan 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm not all that bothered about the FA cup. If we win that would be great but I'd rather focus on the league and Europa. We have won a trophy this season and all I care about now is Champions league next season.

[–]burnedgoatAnder 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Fuck it. I hope we smash them

[–]Emmie_10 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

What time does the game start eastern time New York?

[–]Kimash-sama 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hopefully we'll keep the scoreline respectable. No chants of "who are ya..."

Smalling and Blind if they play owe us some goals after the miserable performances last time at Chelsea.

Genuinely worried Chelsea will shit on us again.

C'mon United Fuck Chelsea up please!

[–]dleazzzRooney 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think we will have a chance tomorrow, we will probably get smashed. Hopefully they prove me wrong and shut me up.

[–]cptainvimesDe Gea 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I want to win but I'm okay if we will be down 0-2 and Mou won't chase the game.

[–]LeorenthelaPogba 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm optimistic by nature, and thus, i feel we got a good chance tomorrow.

we have a good team, we defend well and we have a really fast front line especially on the wings (miki and martial), which is the kryptonite of the the 3-4-3.

we usually don't concede from corners which is a big strength of Chelsea, we don't mind playing counter attacking football which is also something they have hard time coping with (their lose to spurs was from two quick counter attacks).

they like to attack through the middle where we have a strong 3 with Carrick-Herrera-Pogba and good cbs.

so i feel it would be an interesting game, where who scores first will probably win.

[–]TheBelgianMicrophoneAnder Herrera 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Feeling pessimistic about this one! We're rubbish at Stamford Bridge. Even if we can turn them over it looks to be a very difficult competition to win considering the teams that are left.

Of course, I always want us to win but maybe it wouldn't be the end of the world if we go out and we can focus on Europa and top 4.

Hope to see a pacy front line. Think Mkhi will be key if we are to win, hopefully a MOTM performance coming up from him!

[–]_________________-- 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Lingard winner.

[–]mrpiggywinkles52Herrera 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

If we win this it's such a confidence boost, Wouldn't care I feel it was 1-0 off Fellaini a ballsack or Pogba dabs the ball into the net and is off side it wouldbe huge

Personally think we'll get smashed though but we've already got a trophy and we should focus on top 4 so as long as the scoreline is respectable I'm not too torn up about the result

[–]rohrshachs_journalFuck the FA -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

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.

[–]burnedgoatAnder 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

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

[–]MalforianJose Mourinho -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

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