Wolves
Having reached a couple of minutes to achieve Chelsea's last victory last weekend, the Wolves will have their sights set on smothering another top-six giant in the clash on Saturday night at Molineux.The wolves have forged a reputation for blood-sucking the noses of the best teams in the country, a category they only miss out on for their seventh position in the Premier League.
The men of Nuno Espirito Santo are on track to finish the best of the rest in the top flight, sitting at a point better than Watford and five against West Ham United with eight games of their league campaign ahead.
Finishing seventh would be a great achievement for the West Midlands team in its first season at the big moment, of course, however, there is a feeling that this is just the beginning. Joining that seventh place with a first FA Cup semifinal since 1997-98 would be a good way to establish a marker for sustained success.
That is now the final goal of Nuno, who has impressed so much during his time in English football, that he has already been considered an administrative goal for Chelsea and weekend rival Man United, albeit before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer converted the fortunes of the latter. around.
Nuno had to defend his tactics in the back of the 1-1 draw last weekend with Chelsea, after having seen his side in one of two shots all afternoon: Raul Jimenez completed an impressive goal of exit, which can be satisfied with his debut. Campaign in Molineux.
The wolves did what they had to do to get out of Stamford Bridge with a positive result, getting their tenth point against a club of the big six this season, at least two more than any other team outside the elite division, to keep them on the way to European football next season.
One of those points was against United at Old Trafford in October, so, with the home advantage in this last fight, the Wolves will look to claim another scalp and achieve three consecutive victories in the FA Cup for the first time since February 2003.
Liverpool have already fallen in Molineux in this season's competition, as has Shrewsbury Town in a fourth-round repeat before Wolves stopped Bristol City 1-0 last time. It configures them very well for what could still be the highlight of a campaign to remember, and a trip down Wembley Way.
Manchester United
For the first time in Solskjaer's tenure for three months, United proved defeat in the Premier League last Sunday as they lost 2-0 to Arsenal, one of the top four rivals.It could well turn out to be a massive blow to their hopes of playing Champions League football next quarter, although a two-point gap in fourth place is something the Red Devils would have happily accepted when they were drifting 11 points to mid December

The Solskjaer record still has 14 impressive victories, two draws and two defeats in 18 matches in all competitions. In addition to leading United into contention in the top four, the Norwegian has also guided the club to the quarterfinals of the Champions League and the FA Cup.
The memorable and historic 3-1 victory last week at Paris Saint-Germain may have been the result that led to Solskjaer being named United's permanent boss in the coming weeks, taking them to the last eight games of the Cup of Nations. Europe together with three other English. clubs.
However, the FA Cup also gives Solskjaer the opportunity to win some silverware, and having raised it a couple of times before, as a player, he knows how much the competition means to the fans. For a club of the caliber of United, lifting the famous trophy only a couple of times in this millennium is a shocking comeback.
Not since 2005, under the supervision of legendary boss Sir Alex Ferguson, the Red Devils reached the semi-finals in consecutive seasons, which they can achieve with victory on Saturday after reaching the final, where they were beaten by Chelsea.
However, United has an impressive record away from home in the FA Cup, winning nine of their last 10, losing the other against Chelsea at this stage in 2016-17, and in Solskjaer they have a manager with a record of 100. % distance in the competition, winning twice in his trips with Cardiff City and twice this season with the Red Devils.
Keep that race on Saturday and nobody will doubt that he is the right man for the job.
Team News
Solskjaer can not afford to rotate his side too much, mainly because he still does not have a number of first team players, but also because the Wolves are too strong an opponent to take risks.Anthony Martial and Nemanja Matic returned to action against Arsenal last weekend and are ready to start here, although Scott McTominay has done well lately and gives his manager an additional option in the engine room.
Another player who is recovering from his physical condition is Ander Herrera, but Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard and Alexis Sánchez will not play any role on this side of the international break, while Ashley Young is suspended.
Sergio Romero has started in goal in the last three rounds, meanwhile, and that should be the case here with David de Gea rested.
As for the hosts, they have a fully fit squad to choose from at this stage of the season, which prompted Nuno to joke last week that he will send his medical staff on vacation until the summer.
Ryan Bennett is serving a two-game ban after receiving 10 yellow cards, but that only applies to the Premier League, so he will probably return from a 1-1 draw with Chelsea instead of Romain Saiss, who can enter the middle. defensive field.
Defender Matt Doherty has been involved in more goals in the FA Cup than any other player among the remaining teams in the competition: five, three of which are his own goals, plus a pair of assists.
On the other hand, Nuno has already confirmed that John Ruddy will return between the clubs, which will give the goalkeeper 90 minutes in the recent victory over Cardiff in preparation for this game.
