Manchester United are looking to extend their 13-match unbeaten run when they face Norwich City in the FA Cup quarter-final tie on Saturday evening.

The Red Devils saw off Derby County in the last round with an Odion Ighalo-inspired 3-0 victory, and are on the hunt for their first trophy under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Meanwhile, the Canaries' league form has left much to be desired, with the newly-promoted side facing the real possibility of an immediate return to the Championship after their defeat to Everton.

For all their struggles in the league though, they did see off Spurs in the last round of the competition – albeit on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

As for Norwich, their Premier League troubles have not been helped by unfortunate injuries to key players, with Christoph Zimmerman out for the season, as are defenders Grant Hanley and Sam Byram.

Predicted Lineups:

Manchester United: Romero; Dalot, Maguire, Bailly, Williams; Fred, McTominay, Fernandes; Mata, James, Martial.

Norwich City: Krul; Aarons, Godfrey, Klose, Lewis; Tettey, Vrancic, Buendía, Cantwell, Hernandez; Idah.

Recent Form

The home side have been in dire form of late, losing both of their fixtures since the return of the Premier League, meaning they have lost five of their last six league games - including a 3-0 defeat to Southampton last week.

United's return to competitive action saw them held to a 1-1 draw with a solid Spurs side, but it was Wednesday evening's 3-0 win over unlikely European contenders Sheffield United that has raised expectations for the rest of the campaign.
