Cambridge United and Manchester United are playing live for the FA Cup fourth round and the football match is from Abbey Stadium as the teams face off in the national League Cup competition and the game starts at 2:55 pm ET and coverage is from Fox Soccer 2Go online streaming and this has Man Utd coming in looking to keep things going, as they have played well in the Premier League this season.
Man U is fourth on the Premier League table and Manchester United striker Robin van Persie will be fit for the match after dealing with an ankle issue. The team got off to a slow start this season and now they have the chance to keep things going, as they last won on the road against QPR. The team lost in the Premier League at Old Trafford to Southampton and now they will try and rebound and that came after the win over Yeovil in the third round of the FA Cup.
The team pulled two draws before that in EPL play, with the games against Stoke City and Tottenham seeing just one goal combined from the Red Devils. The team feels that the offense is coming together and they have a great chance to keep moving up towards the top of the standings for recent games on the schedule. Chelsea and Manchester City remain in the first two places and they have a nice lead on United.
The schedule coming up gives United a chance to close the gap, as they have games coming up at home with Leicester city as well as Burnley and those should be wins. The team also has Swansea City and West Ham away along with Sunderland at home and then they will play against Newcastle. The real test next for the team will be Tottenham at Old Trafford and then the team will have a matchup with Liverpool at Anfield and that comes in March after the next month of games.
Luke Shaw and Rafael should be good to go, while Jonny Evans, Chris Smalling and Ashley Young and that gives Louis Van Gaal come options in the matchup. Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal said that the team will not overlook Cambridge despite the fact that the team is in 12th place in League Two, as he said the Abbey can be a tough place to play and that surprises are always there in the FA Cup.
The two teams have only played once and that was in the League Cup back in 1991 and in that match Ryan Giggs was just 17 years old and that says it all. The two sides are very different teams and now Man U will be looking to move on and Cambridge comes in having made it to the quarters twice. Man United has not won this competition in a decade, but they feel like this could be their year and they come in playing well, as they have lost just one time over the last 13 matches across all tournaments and competitions. Wayne Rooney has six goals in his last six FA Cup matchups and he will be a player to watch.
