What are the odds?

The home side are out at 5/1 while Erik ten Hag's outfit are set as 6/10 favourites.

A draw is priced at 11/4.

Team news:

Ten Hag has now revealed he will be without a key trio for the showdown.

Winger Jadon Sancho is now back training with Ten Hag’s squad after spending time in Holland last month to build up his fitness.

But the 22-year-old has still not been deemed ready for selection.

Full-back Diogo Dalot was injured after just 34 minutes against Charlton in the last round.

He has not played since, which will means Aaron Wan-Bissaka will likely play the role of understudy once more.

In attack, Anthony Martial will miss out again.

The French striker suffered a knock in the Manchester derby victory and came off the break.

He missed the draw at Crystal Palace and loss to Arsenal and will not be in contention for Wednesday.

When quizzed about who is available, Ten Hag replied: “The players who were not available for the Arsenal game - Dalot, Martial, Sancho - are also not available for tomorrow.”

That means that new signing Wout Weghorst seems set to lead the line again and he will be desperate to get off the mark for United.

Meanwhile, there is good news for Ten Hag as influential Brazilian midfielder Casemiro is back available following his one-match ban.

The United boss has rotated his squad during the competition so far, handing opportunities to several youngsters and fringe players, but it would be a bold choice to continue that now with Wembley in sight.
