There’s plenty going on this weekend across the United Kingdom as the action continues in the English Premier League, Championship, and FA Cup. Midweek gave us some fascinating results from the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League, with those competitions advancing to the semi-finals. But domestic football dominates our thinking on Saturday and Sunday, including an intriguing game from the FA Cup.

The nation’s favourite knockout competition is into the semi-finals, with the remaining four teams playing two games at Wembley on Saturday and Sunday. The first game pairs Manchester City and Chelsea in a blockbuster from the national stadium, which kicks off at 17:15 GMT on Saturday. But we focus on Sunday’s main event as Coventry City and Manchester United go head-to-head from 15:30. Which team will come out on top and book their spot in next month’s final?

• Everton vs Nottingham Forest Prediction: Premier League Match on 21.04.2024

Sky Blues aiming high

Coventry City is the only non-Premier League team left in this season’s FA Cup. They are the outsiders of four, with pundits who expect the Sky Blues challenge to come up short at this stage. The experts may be against them, and they may be the outsiders in the betting, but Coventry doesn’t follow the script. They don’t pay attention to the opinions of others and certainly don’t judge their chances on the betting odds.

Coventry fans have a day out at the national stadium to look forward to, but they can dream even bigger. Could they be a shock winner of the FA Cup? It’s certainly possible, as anything can and often does happen in this tournament. Coventry will need a huge slice of luck to pass Man Utd, but they are in the running, and that’s all fans ask.

United the hot favourites

Manchester United are the red-hot favourites with pundits and sportsbook traders ahead of this game and that will come as no surprise to followers of English football. Without being rude to Coventry and their efforts in this tournament so far, Man Utd is one of the biggest names in European football. They haven’t been at their best this season and will likely miss out on the top four of the Premier League, but can sign off with an FA Cup win. Ending the season with a trophy would set the team up for next season.

Man Utd know they have the easiest of the two semi-final draws after avoiding both Manchester City and Chelsea who meet the day before. The Red Devils wouldn’t have been favourites to beat the current holders or the Blues in London, but they should have the skills to defeat lower-league opposition. The stars in the United dressing room must stand up and be counted, firing the team to another final.

Coventry vs Man Utd prediction

What a game we have in store here as Coventry continue their FA Cup dream, hoping to force their way into the next round. They are the tournament’s surprise package and will be full of fight on Sunday, but that probably won’t be enough against a United team that’s experienced of winning important games at this venue. They know how to navigate a semi-final and will show their class again.

Man Utd eliminated Liverpool earlier in the FA Cup, winning a goal-fest at the Theatre of Dreams. They should settle early, and if United can score in the opening exchanges, they should have the quality to wrap things up in regulation time.
