Manchester United FC have drawn Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final stage, as both the teams look to win silverware. United will face Chelsea for the fourth time this season and will look to maintain their 100% record against the Londoners. The Red Devils will get less than 48 hours of rest as they faced Crystal Palace earlier today.
Manchester United are playing some wonderful attacking football and are on a 19-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. The Red Devils haven’t lost a single match since the restart and are the only Premier League side to do so. Martial, Rashford, Greenwood and Fernandes have all been amongst the goals as United look to win their first silverware this season.
On the other hand, Chelsea have been inconsistent since the restart and have lost a few of their important players due to injury. Chelsea have faced the Red Devils thrice this season, and have lost all the three games. The last time these two faced each other, United won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, in the Premier League.

TEAM NEWS
The Red Devils will have probably have Luke Shaw and Brandon Williams back from the injuries they sustained against Southampton. Both of the full-backs didn’t feature against Crystal Palace and should be ready for the FA Cup tie. Nemanja Matic was also given a break from the Palace game, as he needs to be at his best against his former employers Chelsea.
On the other hand, Chelsea will be without a couple of their key men with Kante and Billy Gilmour out with injury. Kovacic is also making his way back from injury and is not expected to play the full game. They have made several changes in their defence as none of their defenders has settled well after the restart.
