Man Utd vs West Ham TV details ahead of FA Cup fifth round tie

Manchester United and West Ham FA Cup ties have thrown up some memorable moments over the years.

From Paolo Di Canio scoring at Old Trafford 20 years ago, despite Fabian Barthez's best efforts to convince him he was offside, to a pulsating last ever cup match to be played at the Boleyn Ground in 2016, these games have rarely been short on drama.

Now, the two sides meet again in the fifth round in a match that will be decided tonight as there are no replays in this year's competition.

Man Utd beat Liverpool 3-2 in a thrilling match in the fourth round, while West Ham beat cruised past League One side Doncaster Rovers 4-0.

The Red Devils will now be without Paul Pogba for a number of weeks after he limped out of Saturday's 3-3 draw with Everton with a thigh-muscle injury.

West Ham boss David Moyes has promised to pick a strong team for the trip to his former club. The Hammers have been in fine form recently, with just one defeat in their last 11 matches in all competitions.

Jesse Lingard won't play though as his loan agreement says he can't play against his boyhood club. He's also cup tied after appearing in Man Utd's third round win over Watford.

Kick-off at Old Trafford is at 7.30pm.

Four more ties will be played on Wednesday – including Swansea vs Manchester City and Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur – before the final match on Thursday night between Barnsley and Chelsea.

Man Utd vs West Ham odds

Man United are the favourites at 8/13 with Betfred while West Ham are outsiders at 4/1 but could we potentially see a cupset?

David Moyes will be relieved to see Tomas Soucek available after his red card was overturned.

The Czech midfielder and former Slavia Prague man has played every single minute for West Ham in the Premier League this season, scoring eight goals in that time. He is 9/1 to score first or 5/2 anytime.

The Irons could well be involved in an FA Cup classic at Old Trafford. In their last six matches in all competitions, five of them have involved three or more goals. A result involving 2.5 goals or over is 13/8 with Betfred.

We could expect some rotation at the back for the hosts too which could see the Red Devils' inconsistency at the back continue.

They fumbled a 2-0 lead against Everton to draw 3-3 and have kept two clean sheets in their last six matches in all competitions – one against nine-man Southampton and the other away to Arsenal.

Their last game against Carlo Ancelotti's side highlighted the need for improvement at the back and conceding three poor goals will be a weakness West Ham will look to exploit for a place in the quarter-finals.
