FA Cup - United v Reading 5th Round

Saturday 17th February, we take a rest from the rigours of staying on top of the league with a sterling chance to move onwards to the Quarter Finals of the FA Cup when United take on a very good Reading side, managed by former United player, Steve Coppell.

Reading are a very good side, and we must not underestimate them. They will play a lot better than they did in the recent league game at Old Trafford.

I expect Ferguson to put out his strongest eleven and hopefully everyone will be fit to play. We have no midweek game but this FA Cup tie comes just before the Lille Champions League game. I am wary that Fergie might try and rest one or two players as we all know that the Champions League is a bigger priority for Fergie.
