Reigning FA Cup champions Manchester United will look to make safe passage through to the quarter finals of this season’s competition as they face off against Blackburn in a Lancashire derby on Sunday. This will be Championship opposition for the third tie in a row for the Red Devils, having beaten both Reading and Wigan by a 4-0 scoreline already. With Blackburn in a massive fight for survival in the Championship, this looks as if it could be a routine fixture for the Red Devils, even if they rest players having gone through a UEFA Europa League win over St Etienne on Thursday night.
Manchester United have not lost out on the road against a lower league opponent in the FA Cup since the 1983/84 season and they have lost only one of their last nine away games in all competitions as well this term. The Red Devils are also running on a six match unbeaten streak at Ewood Park as well against Rovers, so there is heavy favouritism for the Premier League side in this one as they take on the second tier strugglers. Right now, Rovers have much bigger concerns and issues than beating Jose Mourinho’s men in an FA Cup tie.
