Manchester United host Reading in the fourth round of the FA Cup tonight.
United put one foot in the Carabao Cup final with a 3-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Wednesday and this competition represents another realistic target for silverware.
That win at the City Ground gave Erik ten Hag’s side a lift after their 3-2 defeat at Arsenal last weekend and they are on a 10-match winning streak across all competitions at Old Trafford.

Manchester United vs Reading team news
Harry Maguire could be given a rare start for United, after serving a suspension in midweek, though Luke Shaw is a doubt and Diogo Dalot will definitely miss out.
Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial could make their returns, while Jack Butland will be hoping to be given a debut in goal should Ten Hag opt to rest David de Gea. The United boss, meanwhile, has played down any suggestion of Rashford carrying a knock.
For the visitors, Andy Carroll is fit after an ankle injury, though Sam Hutchinson, Naby Sarr, Ovie Ejaria and Liam Moore all remain unavailable.
Manchester United vs Reading prediction
United look too strong for most teams right now, particularly at Old Trafford where they continue to be in imperious form.
It looks set to be another comfortable night on home soil for Ten Hag’s side, against a Reading side who have won just one of their last 10 games on the road and have four wins in 17 overall.
Man United to win, 3-0.
