Manchester United vs Fulham: FA Cup – LIVE!
Man United’s tilt at a domestic cup double continues this afternoon as they welcome their Premier League rivals to Old Trafford in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Erik ten Hag has already claimed the Carabao Cup in his debut season in charge, and his team are among the favourites to add the FA Cup to the campaign haul. They are also favourites to win the Europa League.
Fulham have enjoyed a fine season back in England’s top flight as they push for a top-eight finish, though recent defeats to Brentford and Arsenal have halted their progress in recent weeks. A big win today at Old Trafford would see them reach the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since 2002, and they may fancy their chances of an upset.
The all-Premier League cup affair kicks off at 4.30pm. Follow the game with our dedicated blog below, featuring expert insight from Dom Smith!

Fulham team news
For Fulham, the excellent Joao Palhinha is now free of suspension. Given their reliance on the Portugal international, that is the best news the west London side could ask for.
Cedric Soares is also back in contention after being ineligible to face parent club Arsenal last week.
Willian and Tom Cairney should be fit, but the likes of Layvin Kurzawa and Shane Duffy are still out along with Neeskens Kebano.
Man United team news
Casemiro begins his four-match domestic suspension, while Scott McTominay has been freshly ruled out with an injury, meaning Marcel Sabitzer could come into the midfield alongside Fred.
Anthony Martial is not thought to be fit just yet, while Antony is also a doubt after illness. Elsewhere, Donny van de Beek and Christian Eriksen are still injured, along with Alejandro Garnacho.
