Round 5

A repeat of last season’s FA Cup final will take place at Stamford Bridge on Monday as Chelsea take on Manchester United in a heavyweight fifth round clash.

The Blues ran out 1-0 winners at Wembley last May, but come into this clash on the back of a 6-0 thrashing by Manchester City in their last Premier League game.

Latest odds

However, having come out on top in each of the last four FA Cup ties against this opposition, they are 19/20 (1.95) favourites to make it five in a row here.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suffered his first defeat since taking temporary command in last week’s Champions League tie against PSG, but is priced at 3/1 (4.0) to bounce back with a big win in this one.

The sides shared a 2-2 draw when they met here in October’s league encounter, and you can get odds of 11/4 (3.75) on this one heading into extra-time after another stalemate.

Team news

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a doubt after missing Thursday’s 2-1 Europa League victory over Malmo due to a back injury.

Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial have joined Matteo Darmian and Antonio Valencia on the sidelines after suffering injuries against PSG, while Alexis Sanchez is also a doubt.

Tips and predictions

Having won all five of their away matches since Jose Mourinho’s departure – including victories at Arsenal and Tottenham – Manchester United look like decent value at 17/20 (1.85) to simply avoid defeat here.
