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.
