Coventry vs. Manchester United: Live Stream, Time, & How to Watch The Match Online
Manchester United head to Wembley for the fourth time in Erik ten Hag’s tenure this weekend, with the objective of reaching the Emirates FA Cup final for a second successive season.
Sunday’s last-four tie against Coventry City is the reward for that unforgettable 4-3 win over arch-rivals Liverpool in the quarter-final at Old Trafford, the only home game we have played in the competition this season after winning away at League One club Wigan Athletic (2-0), League Two outfit Newport County (4-2) and our fellow top-flight side Nottingham Forest (1-0).
The man who scored United’s winner when we also won 1-0 at Forest in the FA Cup third round in 1990, Mark Robins, is now the manager of our next opponents. And he will no doubt be relishing the opportunity to cause a major upset, given the 21 league places between the clubs make Championship club Coventry the clear underdogs. THE OPPOSITION
Currently occupying eighth place in the Championship, eight points short of the play-off spots, Coventry have defied the odds to join three of the Premier League’s top nine clubs at the penultimate stage of the FA Cup.
However, after beating Oxford United (6-2), Sheffield Wednesday via a replay (4-1) and Maidstone United (5-0), the Sky Blues’ only giant-killing of a top-flight side came in that incredible last round when they made the short trip across the Midlands to Molineux.
After a goalless first half, Ellis Simms put City ahead early in the second period and they remained in front for a full half-hour until Rayan Ait-Nouri and Hugo Bueno’s quickfire double, in the 83rd and 88th minutes, appeared to have broken the visitors’ hearts and set the expected ascendancy. PREVIOUS MEETINGS
The clubs have contested 83 previous fixtures since 1912 but only four have been played in the current millennium.
After beating Coventry by the odd goal at Old Trafford in February 2000, when Andy Cole (2) and Paul Scholes scored in our 3-2 victory, we did the same away at Highfield Road nine months later. Cole netted again and David Beckham’s follow-up proved to be the winner in a narrow 2-1 triumph.
A more significant encounter came the following April when, on a wet Easter Saturday, the Reds beat the Sky Blues 4-2 at home in the early kick-off and were then crowned 2000/01 Premier League champions a few hours later as title-race rivals Arsenal suffered a shock 3-0 loss at home to Middlesbrough. TEAM NEWS
United could welcome back Antony after the Brazilian was pictured in training on Tuesday afternoon; our no.21 missed the frustrating 2-2 draw with Bournemouth due to injury.
However, the roll call of unavailable players is still lengthy, particularly at the heart of defense where Harry Maguire and recent Academy graduate Willy Kambwala have started the last two games in the absence of Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane.
Scott McTominay lost his race to be fit for last Saturday’s game, but an update on the midfielder and other sidelined players could be delivered later this week when Ten Hag holds his pre-match press conference.
As for Coventry, they were missing midfielder Jamie Allen and Japanese winger Tatsuhiro Sakamoto for their Midlands derby defeat, 3-0 at Birmingham City, last Saturday. Kasey Palmer, a key attacking midfielder, will be suspended for the semi-final after being booked in the dramatic quarter-final victory away to Wolves – it was his second yellow card in the competition this
