BIG-MATCH FACTS
＊ The outstanding tie of the fifth round is Sir Alex Ferguson's 100th as
manager of Manchester United.
＊ The top two in the Premier League are also the most successful clubs in
FA Cup history; United and Arsenal have won the world's oldest football
knockout competition 21 times between them and have appeared in a
combined 35 finals.
＊ This is the 35th time Ferguson will have come up against his opposite
number Arsene Wenger. Of the 34 previous encounters United have won 11,
Arsenal 13. Eight of the 10 other games finished level and two were
decided on penalty shoot-outs; United won the 2003 Community Shield,
and Arsenal the 2005 FA Cup final.
FA CUP RECORDS AND BEST PERFORMANCES
Current form
＊ Won 26 of 36 in all competitions this season.
＊ Won six and drawn one of their seven league and cup games in 2008
(home and away) but lost their last match at Old Trafford, the 2-1
derby defeat to Manchester City on 10 February.
Recent FA Cup performance
＊ Only failed to get past the fifth round in one of the last four years,
and reached the final in each of the other three, winning in 2004.
The Manager
＊ United have only been knocked out by top-flight opposition under Sir
Alex Ferguson, and have failed to reach the final in 13 of 21 attempts.
＊ They have won the cup a record five times in the stewardship of the
current manager, who has led out the side for the final on eight
occasions.
FA Cup fact
＊ Drawn against Premier League opposition for the 10th successive round
and third this season; knocked out Aston Villa (a) and Tottenham (h)
in this current run.
HEAD to HEAD
All competitions
＊ Arsenal are unbeaten in three matches against United (won two and drawn
one in the Premier League) and have not lost to the Red Devils since a
2-0 league reverse at Old Trafford on 9 April 2006.
＊ This season's one Premier League meeting at the Emirates Stadium resulted
in a 2-2 draw on 3 November 2007. William Gallas put through his own goal
to give United the lead, Fabregas equalised soon after half-time, Ronaldo
put United back in front with eight minutes remaining and Gallas atoned
for his earlier error by securing a point in stoppage time.
FA Cup
＊ These clubs have been paired with one another 11 times and met on 12
occasions (one replay). They fought out a goalless draw after extra
time in the most recent, the 2005 final at the Millennium Stadium. The
Gunners won 5-4 in a dramatic penalty shoot-out, to tip the balance in
their favour in the FA Cup head to head count.
＊ But the most memorable clash between the pair in recent years was the
1999 semi-final, which United won 2-1 in a replay at Villa Park, courtesy
of Ryan Giggs' spectacular solo 109th minute goal, and his subsequent
shirt-swinging celebration.
Prediction: United 2-1 Arsenal
- United can't be as bad as they were last week, and they are sure to be
up for this one
Key opponent:
Emmanuel Adebayor - Togolese striker is doing all the damage for the
Gunners at present
