But United, who lost last year’s final to City, have been struggling for form and have had three draws and a defeat in four Premier League matches since they beat Liverpool in their dramatic FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford last month.

Coventry’s promotion bid in the Championship has faltered and they come into the game on a run of two wins and three defeats in five games since beating Wolves in the quarter-finals.

Coventry vs Manchester United prediction

United continue to be unconvincing, with every side they face seemingly able to create chances at will.

With the Premier League campaign unlikely to provide much joy, their season rests on the FA Cup and even lifting a trophy may not be enough to save Ten Hag’s job.

Coventry have done brilliantly to make it this far, but they have lost three of their last four Championship matches and their run looks likely to end here.

Manchester United to win, 3-1.
