United have a formidable FA Cup record, winning their last 14 fifth-round ties. Despite inconsistent league form, the Red Devils have shown resilience in cup competitions.

With injuries piling up, Ruben Amorimā€™s side will rely on match-winners like Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Hojlund to break down Fulhamā€™s sturdy defense and extend their FA Cup run.

Marco Silvaā€™s side have impressed on the road, winning their last four away games. The Cottagers seek their first FA Cup trophy ever, with a best finish as runners-up in 1975.

To do that, however, they will have to overcome a United side theyā€™ve lost twice to this season in the league. With Unitedā€™s defensive frailties, Fulham will look to exploit counter-attacks and maintain their scoring streak.
