FA Cup fourth round weekend gets underway tonight at Old Trafford
Manchester United welcome Leicester City to Old Trafford in the FA Cup fourth round tonight. The Red Devils overcame Arsenal on penalties in the last round whilst the Foxes made light work of Championship outfit Queens Park Rangers.
The holders will be favourites to progress having already beaten Leicester twice this season, including victory in the Carabao Cup. Though they have lost five of their last seven home games across all competitions and go into the tie on the back of a loss to Crystal Palace.
Man Utd will be without Lisandro Martinez after he suffered an injury to his cruciate ligament last weekend, while Luke Shaw is a doubt amid reports of a fresh setback. As for the visitors Ruud van Nistelrooy is back at Old Trafford for the first time since his temporary spell as interim head coach came to an end and he will be out to deny his former club a place in round five.
Both Ruben Amorim and Van Nistelrooy addressed the media on Thursday ahead of the game. You can follow this blog for all the latest team news and build-up ahead of kick-off on Friday night.
