Manchester United will be looking to book a trip to Wembley for the FA Cup semi-finals when they take on fierce rivals
Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. A late Casemiro goal secured a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest in United's last FA Cup outing, setting up the clash with Liverpool at Old Trafford in the FA Cup quarter-finals. With United sitting sixth in the
Premier League and out of Europe, the FA Cup is their last shot at a trophy this season. Erik ten Hag's side will enter the clash in high spirits after picking up a 2-0 win over Everton in their last outing. Sunday will be the second time the two rivals have met this season, with United drawing 0-0 in the Premier League at Anfield earlier this season, despite the hosts having 34 shots.

Manchester United's predicted XI vs Liverpool (Image: EA Sports) We predict that Liverpool could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Kelleher; Bradley, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Endo, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Salah, Nunez, Diaz . The first half was extremely tight with both sides getting into dangerous positions but lacking that cutting edge in front of goal. Liverpool started to dominate towards the end of the half, but slightly against the run of play United went into the break ahead when Marcus Rashford's fizzed cross was turned into his own net by Joe Gomez. Now behind, Liverpool started to push even harder for an equaliser with Klopp's side managing 21 shots in the opening hour of the game. United were defending with every player behind the ball to try and hold on to their lead, but the pressure was too much as the visitors drew level. Dominik Szoboszlai made it 1-1 (Image: EA Sports) Diogo Dalot was dispossessed in his own half, allowing Conor Bradley and
Mohamed Salah to advance down the wing. Salah cut inside before firing a pass into the path of Dominik Szoboszlai, and the midfielder beat Andre Onana at his front post to make it 1-1. Liverpool should have made it 2-1 moments later when Luis Diaz was slipped through on goal, but after rounding the keeper, the winger could only find the side netting. Despite the Reds' pressure, United were still managing a few chances of their own, and in the 92nd minute, Old Trafford erupted when Ten Hag's side scored the winner. Rasmus Hojlund made it 2-1 (Image: EA Sports) A short corner routine saw Alejandro Garnacho break into the box on the right, and some smart footwork saw the winger beat his man before reaching the byline. Garnacho found Rasmus Hojlund inside the area, and his first-time finish was rifled into the roof of the net to win the tie late on for United.
