The last FA Cup quarterfinal clash will be settled this Wednesday, April 13th at Upton Park in London when West Ham United hosts fellow Premier League side Manchester United. The two teams first met at Old Trafford in Manchester on March 13th and played to a 1-1 draw. This replay will go to extra time if it ends in a draw and will then go to a penalty shootout if it’s still level. While both clubs are still fighting for a berth in the 2016/17 European Champions League, the FA Cup is their only chance for silverware this season. Man United enters the match after a 3-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on Sunday while West Ham battled to a 3-3 home draw with Arsenal a day earlier.
