FA Cup - Home to West Ham United favored for quarter-final


After winning the English League Cup earlier, the Premier League giants Manchester United will face West Ham at Old Trafford in the top 16 of the 2022/23 FA Cup tomorrow. Due to the previous coronation of the League Cup, Ten Hag's team is even more optimistic about successfully obtaining the tickets to the top 8 of the FA Cup.


In the previous English League Cup final, after scoring goals from Casemiro and Rashford, Manchester United finally defeated Newcastle 2-0 at Wembley Stadium, allowing Manchester United to end a six-year championship drought. .


It is worth mentioning that Manchester United is still participating in the competition of the UEFA Champions League, the Premier League and the FA Cup. If they can maintain a brave state, Ten Hag's team may even hope to win 4 Champions Leagues this season. The Dutch coach Ten Hag has been coaching Manchester United for less than a year, and he has made Manchester United the champion with a very strict coaching method, and the fans have once again seen the super strength of the "Red Devils".


In addition, since the beginning of 2023, Manchester United has achieved 12 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in 16 official games. Before that, they only lost to the "Gunner" Arsenal. In the past 10 games, they have achieved 8 wins, 2 draws and unbeaten Great results, including an earlier elimination of La Liga giants Barcelona in the Europa League.


Tottenham Hotspur v Sheffield United


For West Ham , the "Hammers" beat the newly promoted Nottingham Forest 4-0 at home in the previous league match. The three-match losing streak finally came to an end. At present, they escaped the relegation zone in the Premier League standings, which also gave the players a lot of confidence. .


In terms of the lineups of the two sides, Manchester United has Eriksson, Van der Beek and Martial injured, while Rashford, Bruno Fernandez, De Gea and Casemiro are expected to play to defend the home court advantage. Ings, Skamaka, M-Kornet and Zouma are injured, and it may be another super difficult task for Morse's team to eliminate Manchester United in this campaign.


In addition, after defeating Chelsea 2-0 at home in the league, Tottenham Hotspur will go to the away game to challenge the English Championship team Sheffield United, and hope to continue their winning streak and break into the FA Cup quarter-finals.


Sheffield United currently ranks second in the Championship standings and has scored 55 goals in 33 games in the Championship this season, including 35 goals in 17 home games. However, looking back at the records of the two sides' last three matches, Tottenham Hotspur won by 2 goals, so Sheffield United can only sacrifice a strong lineup to prevent Tottenham from easily taking away the ticket to the FA Cup quarter-finals. .
