Hello and welcome to coverage of the FA CUp clash between League One Shrewsbury Town and Manchester United.

Louis van Gaal's side are the obvious favourites to progress but with numerous injuries to key players - including David De Gea and Wayne Rooney - and poor recent form, the Shrews may well sense they have a great chance to nick a result.

The winner of this tie will go on to face West Ham United at home in the quarter-final.

United enter the game on the back of two bad results, losing to relegation threatened Sunderland and Danish minnows FC Midtjylland in the Europa League.

  • Shrewsbury have lost three of their last four at home
  • Micky Mellon's team have beaten two Championship sides - Cardiff City and Sheffield Wednesday - to progress this far
  • Manchester United have won just five of their last 18 in all competitions
