Squad sheets: Manchester United v Arsenal

These are clubs in need of therapy at least as much as a place in the FA Cup semi-finals. Manchester United have lost two games in a row and Arsenal were knocked out of Europe. Both sides, though, are also competing for the Premier League title and any success in deepening the other's gloom would be welcomed. Arsenal's last victory at Old Trafford came in September 2006. Arsène Wenger's team will also have to shake off the despondency of Cesc Fábregas being sidelined by a recurrence of his hamstring injury.
