For both Arsenal and Manchester United, top four is the ultimate prize this season. Both teams will suffer serious setbacks without Champions League football, and it’s very possible that one of them is going to fail to secure a spot in next year’s competition. Whoever misses out on that will certainly want the FA Cup as a season-saving consolation prize, and it might be necessary to save Arsene Wenger or Louis Van Gaal’s job in the event of league failure.

Whoever wins this tie could be pretty clear favorites to win the whole thing. Liverpool were taken to a replay by Blackburn, Reading and Bradford City have a replay as well, and Aston Villa are the other semifinalists.
Arsenal-Manchester United
United are a bit thin at central defense again, right when they started to get healthy. Jonny Evans will miss this match and five more after spitting at Papiss Cisse. Robin van Persie is also out due to an ankle injury. Gabirel Paulista is now officially an Arsenal player after picking up a hamstring injury, while there are still slight doubts about the fitness of Nacho Monreal and Wojciech Szczesny.
