FA Cup: Manchester United to face Liverpool or Southampton in QFs if they progress past Forest

Manchester United have learnt their fate for the FA Cup quarter-finals should they progress past Nottingham Forest this evening.

Kick-off is fast approaching at The City Ground for tonight’s fifth-round tie, with Erik ten Hag making three changes across his starting line-up as the Reds look to progress in their quest for silverware and make amends for last December’s 2-1 defeat at the stadium.

The winner of the clash will host either Liverpool or Southampton in the next round; their meeting kicks off at 8pm tonight and is held at Anfield, so Jurgen Klopp’s men are the major favourites to reign victorious.

FA Cup quarter-final draw:

▪️ Wolves or Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Coventry City

▪️ Nottingham Forest or Manchester United vs. Liverpool or Southampton

▪️ Chelsea or Leeds United vs. Leicester City

▪️ Manchester City vs. Newcastle United

Ties will be played over the weekend of March 16/17.

United are yet to face their longtime rivals at Old Trafford this term and when they lock horns on April 7, Erik ten Hag will be hoping to oversee a similar result to last season when goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford secured a 2-1 win.
