Arsenal have done us a favour really. Wouldn’t have enjoyed watching us against City at Wembley in this form.
So we have to break the Solskjaer jinx the same way we broke the Dalglish one, at Wembley!
Called it. They're bound to avenge their 3 losses to us this season
Do City ever not get the easier draw? It’s incredible how lucky they get with this.
You see Arsenal making it past City?
Arsenal - semi, Chelsea - final please
Edit: ffs
Beating them 4 times in a season will be a tough ask but shown we’re capable.
Another Chelsea game. Feels like we have played them shite ton this season.
Exactly this. They're fecking due
could have been better, could have been worse
Feels like we've played Chelsea, Wolves and City about 32 times this year

I'm surprised we didn't get Wolves. But I guess Chelsea was the second most obvious option.
4th time now. We played them 5 times in 2010/11 and 5 times in 2012/13.
Exactly
Shit, i'd have preferred to battered Chelsea in the Final.
Only 11 times though. Will be 4 each now and maybe 5 times against City.
Well its hardly that surprising given there was only 3 options.
Feck it - it will be a good game and there is no fear of them.
City get the shittest team. I for one am shocked.
City/Chelsea final. Our FA cup record against Chelsea is shocking.

What's the point in playing at Wembley now? Its an absolute joke. The two Manchester clubs have to travel as usual.
The way Arsenal played today, they will really be able to get a result against City.
And if you say this ten thousand times under your breath every day between now and the match….. it still won't be true. They were utterly shit and very lucky today.

Knocked Chelsea out of the fa cup last year to be fair
FFS not these cnuts again, im sick of fecking sooopah fwank. Will they have Werner for this?
Do you remember last year for christ sake?
Did we? I remember 2007 & 2018 finals & a random game where Demba Ba knocked us out.
edit - yes I remember now, that insane run we went on. Those draws were ridiculous, constant top clubs away from home wasn’t it. Arsenal & Chelsea in the cup, PSG & Barca in the CL while City got teams like Bristol & Basel
Beating Chelsea will be Ole's first real test.
2-0 yeah. Pogba and Herrera headers.
Yeah, think ole has been drawn away for every FA cup tie as Utd boss
No but I'd love us to play them and give them the pasting they missed out on 15 years ago.
Let Chelsea come out all guns blazing for revenge. We would just play our best tactic - counter attack
Never liked the semi-final at Wembley idea, should have been scrapped long time ago.
"United have played Chelsea 16 times in the FA Cup to date, including our 1994 final triumph and the 2007 and 2018 finals in which the West London club were victorious. The overall record is nine wins to the Reds and five to the Blues with two draws."
Not that shocking.
I was at Wembley in 2018, they owe me a win against Chelsea, bloody Jones.
Jeez, two years gone..
Frank hasnt shown much against us, I dont think he's able to nullify us with the squad he has.
Quite a decent draw for us, I imagine they feel the same way, it’ll be a very hard fought and competitive game but we’ve definitely got it in us to beat them.
Chelsea won`t be an easy game at all. They seem to have good momentum and Lampard will have a point to prove after losing to Ole thrice. Reckon Chelsea beat us this time unfortunately.
No point. First team drawn out should have got a home tie and United was drawn out first.
Manc derby it is.
FA Cup record v Chelsea in recent memory:
1993/94 FINAL - Won 4-0
1995/96 SEMI FINAL - Won 2-1

1998/99 QUARTER FINAL - Won 2-0

1998/99 QUARTER FINAL - Won 2-0
2006/07 FINAL - Lost 1-0
2012/13 QUARTER FINAL - Lost 1-0
2016/17 QUARTER FINAL - Lost 1-0
2017/18 FINAL - Lost 1-0
2018/19 5TH ROUND - Won 2-0
Surely....we aren't beating them again?
Any chance Newcastle could turn it around... I doubt it but would be nice
Good should mean we win the next 3 then
Playing the same team 4 years in a row must be some kind of F.A cup record
Odds are against us..
But, it's a cup tie and becouse of the virus break like a new season, not related to previous meetings.
Chelsea has been good since restart but so are we.
We have also been very good at big games this season
So, using the above algorithm, I have come to the conclusion that United will win this game 4-0.
Yes, yes indeed.
Was exactly what I was thinking. Don’t think we’ll get to the final.
