There is a place at Wembley at stake in this one, as Manchester United host their long-term rivals Arsenal at Old Trafford on Monday night. The Reds will be hoping to get past arguably the toughest opponent left in the draw, before potentially meeting Liverpool in either the semi or the final.
Team selection is always important, but Louis van Gaal will be thinking that little bit harder about this one. United managed to beat Arsenal 2-1 away from home earlier in the season, but relied heavily on a rapid counter attack. That’ll be different on Monday.
With that in mind, Van Gaal must go for the solid 4-3-3 with a midfield trio of Ander Herrera, Marouane Fellaini and Daley Blind who have all been performing admirably recently.
The front three of Adnan Januzaj, Angel di Maria and Wayne Rooney provides pace, power and skill and they are sure to trouble a slow Arsenal back line.
