Where to watch Coventry City vs.  Watch Man United live stream: FA Cup live online, TV channel, prediction, time

It’s FA Cup semi-finals weekend in England, meaning the last four matches will take place in London at Wembley. Reigning European champions Manchester City waited until late to beat Premier League rivals Chelsea 1-0 on Saturday, before Sunday’s more traditional David vs. Second division club Coventry City’s Goliath match against EPL giants Manchester United took place. Now it’s only a Champions upstart standing in the way of the Manchester rivals going head-to-head for silverware. \

Here are our storylines, how to watch the match and more:

Coventry City vs Manchester United

The champions are here for only the second time in their history thanks to an unexpected success against Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Sky Blues are in the second tier of English football and are dreaming of a return to the top despite last year’s heartbreak in the play-off final after losing to Luton Town on penalties. Mark Robins has a USMNT star in Haji Wright starring with 17 goals and Coventry now have a better chance of reaching the FA Cup final than the play-offs after falling out of contention with two recent defeats. Manchester United and Erik ten Hag need this to salvage something from an overall disastrous spell that could cost the Dutch tactician his job. The Red Devils have won just one of their last six and are therefore vulnerable to a famous cup tie here despite surpassing Liverpool to get this far, so Coventry will be optimistic.

Team news

Coventry: Wright and Ellis Simms have been excellent in attack for Robins’ Sky Blues so far and Callum O’Hare has been inventive, but Jamaican international Kasey Palmer will be missed through suspension. Coventry can make life difficult for United, but are also without Tatsuhiro Sakamoto and Jamie Allen.

United: Anthony Martial, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans are out, while Antony and Scott McTominay are doubts. Harry Maguire and Willy Kambwala are expected to start in defense again, while Rasmus Hojlund, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho should be able to lead the attack as United look to reach a second successive FA Cup final.

Potential Coventry XI: Collins; Latibeaudiere, Thomas, Kitching, Bidwell; Van Ewijk, Torp; Sheaf, O’Hare, Wright; Simms.

Potential United XI: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Kambwala, Dalot; Casemiro, Mainoo; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund.

Prediction

It may be tight at times but United should just about get through this against a plucky Coventry side who will have to get them close and give it their all. Choose: Coventry 0, United 1.
