Manchester United will face Brighton and Hove Albion in the semi-finals of the FA Cup should they beat Fulham today.
The draw for the last four of the domestic competition took place following the culmination of Brighton's 5-0 victory over Grimsby Town. Should the Reds beat Marco Silva's team at Old Trafford this evening, United's Premier League clash with Chelsea on Saturday, April 22 will be rearranged.
Erik ten Hag's men will know that they are by no means guaranteed a place in the last four of the competition having faced Fulham already this season. In a tight game at Craven Cottage, Alejandro Garnacho scored a last-gasp winner to send the Reds into the World Cup break in high spirits.

Fulham currently sit 9th in the Premier League and their manager is confident that they can cause an upset at the Theatre of Dreams. Silva explained: "If you ask me if I believe? 100 per cent, I believe.
"I don’t like to talk about the ‘ifs’. We have to prove on the pitch that we can do it.
"I’m not saying that we are dreaming of it. I believe we can do it if we are at our best level, with full respect to Manchester United.
"They are the favourites, at home, they’ve won the Carabao Cup. But if you ask me, ‘can we do it?’ 100 per cent. If it will happen or not, we have to wait."
Progression to the semi-finals would see United return to Wembley for the second time this season following their League Cup triumph over Newcastle.
