FA Cup semi-final preview: United v Spurs

Setting the scene: United will be looking to book a place in the Emirates FA Cup final on 19 May when taking on Tottenham Hotspur in Saturday's crucial semi-final at Wembley. In what is arguably the biggest game of the season so far, the Reds take on Mauricio Pochettino's side aiming to reach the final of English football's biggest domestic cup competition for the 22nd time. The first semi-final tie of the weekend will see second take on fourth in the Premier League, with United currently six points ahead of Spurs in the table. Jose Mourinho's men will be hoping to continue the positive reaction shown to the West Bromwich Albion defeat from Wednesday night's 2-0 win at Bournemouth, but it promises to be another stiff test against a Spurs side seeking their first major trophy since 2008.
