Must-Watch Matchups

Cambridge United vs. Manchester United

The allure of the FA Cup was once again evidenced on Monday as Cambridge United fans received the news they will play host to Manchester United in the fourth round.

Richard Money's League Two outfit are the lowest-ranked team remaining in the competition, but OptaJoe reveals a morale-boosting statistic for the minnows in their efforts against Premier League sides:

Yeovil Town were the last side to fall out of the tournament at Louis van Gaal's hands, but the Red Devils boss will know he won't get things easy against another lower-league opponent.

The tie also brings a sense of familiarity for Manchester United academy graduate Luke Chadwick, who now finds himself at Abbey Stadium, per the Daily Mail's Adam Crafton:

According to the official Manchester United Twitter account, they hold an unbeaten record over Cambridge, but did fail to procure a win on their only away trip to face the Us:

Admittedly, Van Gaal's men enter their fourth-round tie as huge favourites to progress, but such is the draw of this competition and the chance it gives Cambridge to host rare opposition.

Birmingham City vs. West Bromwich Albion 

Fans of both clubs can put another Midlands derby on their calendar after Birmingham City were drawn against West Brom to make for a tense fourth-round bout.

The two teams couldn't enter this stage of the contest in more opposite veins of cup form. In the third round, Birmingham were forced to come back from two goals down in order to progress past Blyth Spartans, while the Baggies enjoyed a 7-0 rout over Gateshead.

However, the Blues will be hoping the nature of this encounter may coax more fire out of their players, with broadcaster Ian Stafford noting the excitement of this fixture in particular:

Gary Rowett has got Birmingham back to some sense of winning stability of late, with the club losing just two of their last 10 Championship fixtures in total.

Meanwhile, Tony Pulis is still getting to grips with his squad at the Hawthorns, but an early Midlands clash against Birmingham will give the tactician an early tournament test in his new position.
