Manchester United vs. West Ham is one of the hottest matches from the FA Cup's fifth round.
Now in its 140th year, the oldest football competition in the world needs to whittle down the competition to just 8 teams for the quarter-finals in March. There are 8 more matches on their way February 9-11, and Manchester United vs. West Ham might just be the best of the bunch.
Manchester United has performed pretty well in the competition so far. Last round, they saw off Liverpool with a free kick for a 3-2 victory, ending Liverpool’s chances at the trophy this time. With a 1-0 victory over fellow Premier League side, Wolverhampton Wanderers in Round 3, they’re looking like the team to beat in the FA Cup. Manchester United are currently at 2nd place in the Premier League.
West Ham, meanwhile, absolutely thrashed EFL League One side Doncaster Rovers for a 4-0 victory in Round 4. They also ended Stockport County’s hopes back in Round 3, again with a 1-0 win. West Ham currently sits at 5th place in the Premier League.
