The early team news and predicted line up as Man Utd face Coventry City in the semi-final of the FA Cup.

Manchester United will be looking to avoid an almighty FA Cup upset when they face Championship side Coventry City in the second semi-final at Wembley Stadium this weekend.

Erik ten Hag's side will already know their potential opponents in the final, with noisy neighbours Man City set to face Chelsea on Saturday evening ahead of their own clash the following day.

United know they must show significant improvement from their dismal draw with Bournemouth last weekend if they are to have any chance of doing so, a match in which they were fortunate to even escape with a single point to show for things.

Their ongoing injury crisis is set to continue for the Wembley clash, with a number of key defenders set to miss the match. However, Antony should be fit after he missed the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.

With that in mind, here is how we think United will line up...

1 . GK - Andre Onana United's first-choice in goal and a certainty to start this weekend.
2 . RB - Diogo Dalot His form has dropped recently but he is still the leading candidate to start at right-back.
3 . CB - Harry Maguire Maguire has played well despite the wider failings of the team. His leadership and physicality will be crucial.
Really struggled against the physicality of Dominic Solanke last weekend. This is sink or swim for him.
4 . CB - Willy Kambwala Really struggled against the physicality of Dominic Solanke last weekend. This is sink or swim for him.
