Playing catch-up with Chelsea for large parts of the season, Manchester United have so far failed to usurp Lampard’s charges into the Champions League places. Having been presented with multiple chances of toppling the Blues, United always bottle these golden opportunities.

With the Premier League entering its final stretches, the Red Devils cannot afford any further slip-ups if they are breach top-four soon enough. Wins in their final two league fixtures will guarantee Man United a ticket to Europe’s elite competition next term, regardless of results elsewhere.

Pitted against Norwich City for the FA Cup quarterfinals, United were favorites to advance onto the next phases of the competition. Looking to hand well-deserved rests to some of his first-choice players, Solskjaer shuffled the pack to give them a breather.

Fielding a second-string side, the Red Devils never really looked comfortable throughout the game. After Ighalo’s strike was canceled out by Todd Cantwell’s brilliant effort in the 75^th minute, the match headed for extra time. Ultimately, a late extra-time goal from Harry Maguire fired United into the semifinals.

Meanwhile, Chelsea took on fellow top-four contenders Leicester City in the 8^th final of the FA Cup a few weeks ago, seeking victory to book a semifinal ticket. A drab game it was at the King Power Stadium as both sides struggled to create any major openings.

However, a cracker of a goal from Ross Barkley in the second-half sent Chelsea ahead – an effort that ultimately secured their place in the penultimate stage of the tournament. A sublime goal it was, the club supporters must have enjoyed that one go in.

For this fixture, it is important to note that both sides place huge importance on the FA Cup, a great chance to clinch some piece of silverware to add some spice to a rather unconvincing campaign. Also, bragging rights is there for the taking here.
