3. Huddersfield vs. Manchester United

One of the highlights of the weekend sees Manchester United travel to Huddersfield as Jose Mourinho looks to win only his second FA Cup. The Portuguese manager has been surprisingly unsuccessful in the Cup when you consider his record in other tournaments.

The Red Devils need to be weary of a potential upset here, especially after their loss to Newcastle last week. Huddersfield will also be on a high after one of their most impressive results of the season last week.

The Terriers took Bournemouth apart last week in an amazing 4-1 win. However, they’ll need to play at at least that level in order to have any chance of progressing into the quarterfinals.

Huddersfield will know that they can win this match, though, after already beating Manchester United earlier this season. In that 2-1 victory, David Wagner’s side thoroughly deserved all three points so their belief won’t be lacking.

Expect a tight game here and potentially an upset. If the Terriers get in front early, their raucous crowd could carry them through the rest of the tie.
