The opposition
Manchester United have met Premier League opposition in each round of the Emirates FA Cup so far. Their penalty shoot-out victory over Arsenal at the Emirates was all the more impressive considering they played with 10 men since the 61st minute, but their Round Four victory over Leicester City was a controversial one, with Harry Maguire heading in their stoppage time winner from an offside position.
Team news
๐ด Patrick Dorgu is suspended after being sent off in their 3-2 win over Ipswich Town on Wednesday. Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Toby Collyer, Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount, Amad Diallo, Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton are all injured.
๐ค Saลกa Lukiฤโs ban for accumulating 10 yellow cards only counts towards Premier League matches, so the midfielder will be available for our trip to Old Trafford. Emile Smith Rowe has returned to training this week and a late decision will be made regarding his involvement. Kenny Tete, Reiss Nelson and Harry Wilson remain sidelined.
Tickets
Tickets for this game remain on sale over the phone (0203 871 0810) or in person until 3pm on Friday. These tickets will need collecting from Craven Cottage in advance, as United are unable to facilitate collections. There will be no sales from Old Trafford on matchday.
VAR & SAOT
VAR will be in operation at most Fifth Round ties, this one included, while we will also see Semi-Automated Offside Technology for the first time.
