FA Cup Semifinal Preview: Manchester United vs. Chelsea

Manchester United & Chelsea square off at Wembley for a chance to take on Arsenal in the FA Cup Final.

United have been buzzing since the restart & Chelsea have had some impressive results but some inconsistent matches as well. Both clubs are fighting for Top 4 in the Prem & can make a statement against the other today.

These are how the XIs set up:


Manchester United have gone away from the 4-3-3 that has been working for them recently & Chelsea have also made some adjustments that are puzzling. The Red Devils leave Pogba & Greenwood on the bench & the Blues have kept Pulisic out of the starting XI.

Both teams are saying they are playing 3 at the back but it’s matching 5’s when you look at who are the “midfielders” for both sides.

This sets up like a tactical, who’s going to make a mistake to lead to a counter on the other end type of match.

The Pick: Chelsea 2-1.

I’ll have a recap of both Semifinals up today or Monday.
