Kick-off is close, so here’s a final reminder of the line-ups…
Leicester XI: Schmeichel, Fofana, Evans, Soyuncu, Castagne, Ndidi, Tielemans, Albrighton, Ayoze Perez, Iheanacho, Vardy
Subs: Ward, Daley-Campbell, Amartey, Fuchs, Thomas, Mendy, Choudhury, Praet, Leshabela
Manchester United XI: Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles; Fred, Matic; Greenwood, van de Beek, Pogba;; Martial
Subs: De Gea, Shaw, Tuanzebe, Williams, Amad, Fernandes, James, McTominay, Cavani
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting line-up is looking dangerous theses days but the centre-back position is still a concern for the Norwegian.
Maguire and Lindelof are far from a dream pairing, but if Louis van Gaal hadn’t sold Jonny Evans back in 2015, he might be a lot more confident in his defence.
Donny van der Beek has been granted a very, very rare start this evening.
He’ll go down as one of United’s biggest ever flops if he can’t turn things around under Solskjaer. Is today the day he finally shows what he can do?
Manchester United are looking to reach the final four in the FA Cup for the 31st time in their history – which would see them leapfrog Arsenal on 30.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is yet to lift a trophy as Red Devils’ boss, and he will be eyeing up today as a huge step towards changing that fact.
Leicester have beaten Manchester United just once from their last 25 meetings in all competitions (5 draws, 19 losses).
History is really not on the Foxes’ side, who have fallen short the last five times they have reached this stage in the competition.
Leicester XI: Schmeichel, Fofana, Evans, Soyuncu, Castagne, Ndidi, Tielemans, Albrighton, Ayoze Perez, Iheanacho, Vardy
Subs: Ward, Daley-Campbell, Amartey, Fuchs, Thomas, Mendy, Choudhury, Praet, Leshabela
Manchester United XI: Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles; Fred, Matic; Greenwood, van de Beek, Pogba;; Martial
Subs: De Gea, Shaw, Tuanzebe, Williams, Amad, Fernandes, James, McTominay, Cavani
