BIG-MATCH FACTS
- Manchester United continue their quest for a unique quadruple of Champions
League, Premier League, FA Cup and Carling Cup and six pieces of silverware
from the one campaign, having already bagged the Community Shield, League
Cup and World Club Championship.
- Fulham have never won the FA Cup; Manchester United have lifted the trophy
a record 11 times.
- The Cottagers' sixth and most recent appearance in the semi-finals was in
2002, when they were beaten by Chelsea. They last appeared in the
quarter-finals five years ago and, ironically, it was Manchester United who
eliminated them.
- The Red Devils are aiming for a record 26th appearance in the last four.
- Fulham, who've been drawn at home for the first and only time in this Cup
run, have scored nine goals so far on the road to Wembley, a third of them
by Andrew Johnson.
- United have also netted nine goals on their "march to the arch", with Danny
Welbeck, Nani and Darron Gibson helping themselves to two each.
The League ladder
- Fulham are nine places lower than Manchester United in the Premier League
table.

MANCHESTER UNITED
Current form
- Undefeated in 14; won 13 and drawn one since losing to Derby in the first
leg of the Carling Cup semi-final at Pride Park on 7 January.
- Lost only one of the last 29.
Recent FA Cup performance
- Aiming to reach the semi-finals for the fourth tie in six years.
- Eventual winners Portsmouth blocked their path at this same quarter-final
stage last season.
The Manager
- United have won the cup a record five times under Sir Alex Ferguson, who
has led out the side for the final on eight occasions.
- Sir Alex has won 21 major pieces of silverware since taking charge at Old
Trafford in November 1986. He is the most successful British football
manager, winning 32 pieces of silverware in all in over 22 years at the
helm.
FA Cup fact
- Been paired with Premier League opposition in 13 of their last 15 rounds.
HEAD to HEAD
All competitions
- Manchester United have won their last eight meetings with Fulham, scoring
eight goals without reply in the last three - all Premier League games.
- The Red Devils are undefeated in 29 league and cup matches against the
Cottagers. They have won 24 and drawn five since Fulham's 2-1 top-flight
triumph on 5 September 1964 at the Cottage.
FA Cup
- This is the eighth time these clubs have been paired together; United have
progressed on each of the last six occasions and have only been knocked out
by Fulham in a fourth round tie in West London in March 1908.
M.E.N Prediction: Fulham 0-1 United
- this could be a tough game against a decent Fulham side, but the percentage
call is a Reds win
Key opponent:
Andy Johnson - striker is looking sharp again
Lawro's predictions Fulham 1-1 United
Manchester United are expected to rest a few of their top players, but they
are able to do that and still win games as we saw in the Carling Cup final
and against Newcastle on Wednesday.
I expect it to be an open game as both sides like to play good football and I
have a sneaky feeling Fulham will earn themselves a replay.
