Man Utd V Everton: FA Cup Preview

Manchester United v Everton

Sunday April 19 2009,

Wembley Stadium

Kickoff: 16:00

Manchester United

Manchester United beat Fulham 4-0 to progress through to the semifinals of this season's FA Cup.

Man Utd have scored 13 and conceded two goals so far in their FA Cup campaign.

The Red Devils will be without Owen Hargreaves, with Wes Brown and Rafael still doubtful.

Everton

Everton beat Middlesbrough 2-1 to progress to set up this meeting with Man U.

In their FA Cup campaign this season, Everton have scored eight goals and conceded three so far.

Everton will likely be without Louis Saha (virus), but Joseph Yobo, Nuno Valente, and James Vaughan will all fighting to be fit for this match.

Prediction

The two teams have met twice this season, with the first match ending as a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park, and the second encounter at Old Trafford resulting in a 1-0 Man Utd win.

Manchester United have found their winning ways once again after their midweek triumph over Porto in the Champions League.

The win dismissed any speculation that the Red Devils were starting to buckle under the pressure of the run-in, with United also winning their last two Premier League matches.

Everton have been putting in a very solid performance domestically, with the Toffees set to capture either fifth or sixth place in the Premiership.

Scoring seven goals in their last two matches—both against impressive opposition—has shown just how well David Moyes' side has been performing, not only recently, but all season long.

Manchester United enter the match as relatively comfortable favourites for the win, but an extra-time showdown or even a surprise Everton victory cannot, and should not, be entirely dismissed as a possibility.

The Toffees will try to put in a repeat performance of their display in the 1995 FA Cup Final, when they ran out as 1-0 winners over United.
