Norwich City and Carrow Road host Manchester United FC for the FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday. The Canaries stare at relegation in the Premier League with just 21 points from 31 games. Their relegation is inevitable and the FA cup is the most realistic chance to glory.
Norwich City defeated Tottenham to book a place in the quarter-finals, via a penalty shoot-out. On the other hand, Manchester United cruised past Derby County in a 3-0 routine victory. When the Canaries and United have locked horns in the Premier League this season, United have come out victorious.
United have defeated Norwich with an aggregate score of 7-1 this season in the Premier League. But, this time it might get a bit trickier as United will look to shuffle the team, while Norwich will play their best-11. No matter what you expect United to pull off a victory with ease.

TEAM NEWS
Manchester United will be looking to chop and change things as games are coming thick and fast. Their huge squad depth will allow the Red Devils to field players who are fresh and not fatigued. All three forwards who featured against Sheffield on Wednesday will probably be rested along with Pogba as well.
Pogba played for 80 minutes against the Blades and Ole will give the midfielder time to rest. Jones and Tuanzebe are still out with injury and Bailly looks to set play his first minutes after the pandemic break. Mctominay and Fred will likely return to the base of midfield with either of Bruno or Mata playing as the attacking midfielder.
Odion Ighalo will probably lead the line with James and either of Mata or Chong featuring down both the wings. Romero and Brandon Williams will also get their first start after the pandemic break. In the Norwich camp, Teemu Pukki was rested for their Premier clash, so he will feature again for the Canaries.
