The FA Cup round of 16 began play this week, with wins for Conventry City, Leicester City, Newcastle and Manchester City. Now there are only four places left in the next phase and this Wednesday the decisive matches will be played: Chelsea vs Leeds United, Wolverhampton vs Brighton & Hove Albion, Liverpool vs Southampton and Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United.

The latter will be one of the most interesting games of the day, considering that The Red Devils are in a complicated moment due to the failures they have had this season and that every game can be crucial for the future of Erik Ten Hag. The coach has been harshly criticized for the poor performances of the team and the bad results they have obtained, and there are even rumors about his possible replacements for next season.

With this scenario, it is key for them to get a victory at the City Ground and advance to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, the only tournament in which they still have a chance to be champions. That is why the Dutch manager will field the best possible team, except for the injured stars like Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund.

Manchester United's starting lineup will be: Andre Onana; Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, Sofyan Amrabat; Scott McTominay, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes; Antony, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho. Also on the bench will be Altay Bayindir, Johnny Evans, Willy Kambwala, Omari Forson, Toby Collyer, Kobbie Mainoo, Christian Eriksen and Amad Diallo Traore.

The Tricky Tress have a big chance

For Nottingham Forest it is an ideal scenario on Wednesday. They know that the pressure to advance is on Manchester United, so they will be able to play more calmly and be stronger thanks to the support of their fans. Coach Nuno Espiritu Santo chose this XI: Matt Turner; Neco Williams, Felipe, Murillo, Harry Toffolo; Ryan Yates, Danilo, Anthony Elanga, Morgan Gibbs-White, Divock Origi; Taiwo Awoniyi.
