Manchester United vs Reading: FA Cup Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable LineupsManchester United will hope to prolong their stay in the FA Cup when they welcome Reading to Old Trafford for a fourth-round tie. The Saturday night contest will be heavily in favour of the home side due to their impressive form in recent matches. Besides, the poor run of form displayed by Reading recently will not help their cause either. Hence, the away side has to be at the top of their game to get anything out of this match.

Arsenal will have a chance to run at Man City’s back line with Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Eddie Nketiah, and more, though there’s be even more juice in this match-up if Gabriel Jesus was healthy.
It will be interesting to see if they are passed fit to participate in the match. On a positive front though Jadon Sancho could be available soon. However, it remains to be seen if he will play any part at the weekend. Besides, Harry Maguire is available following a one-match suspension. Furthermore, Jack Butland could be in line to start for the Red Devils. On the other hand, Reading will miss the services of Naby Sarr, Sam Hutchinson, Andy Carroll and Liam Moore. Otherwise, they have more or less everyone available. Manchester United possible line-up: Butland, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Martinez, Malacia, McTominay, Fred, Mainoo, Antony, Garnacho, Weghorst Reading possible line-up: Lumley, Yiadom, Holmes, McIntyre, Hoilett, Baba, Fornah, Hendrick, Loum, Ince, Joao Form Guide Manchester United OpponentsScoreNottingham Forest0-3 (W)Arsenal3-2 (L)Crystal Palace1-1Manchester City2-1 (W)Charlton3-0 (W)Reading OpponentsScoreStoke4-0 (L)QPR2-2Watford2-0 (W)West Brom1-0 (L)Norwich1-1Head to Head Last 5 matches (all competitions)ResultsManchester United beat Reading2-0Manchester United beat Reading4-0Manchester United beat Reading1-0Manchester United beat Reading2-1Reading lose to Manchester United3-4Manchester United vs Reading Live Schedule and Fixture The FA Cup match between Manchester United and Reading will take place at Old Trafford on Sunday at 1:30 am IST.
Ex-City man Oleksandr Zinchenko may be ready for this reunion, too. City’s won four-straight match-ups with Arsenal, but the last Gunners win came in… the 2019-20 FA Cup, when Arsenal knocked off the holders. That’s a top, top recent memory for the club, a North London outfit who will hope its a harbinger of what’s to come later this season. Plus, there’s silverware in play here, too, you know?!? Will Pep Guardiola start Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne? Man City’s next game isn’t until Feb. 5 versus Tottenham, but Guardiola may not want to give Mikel Arteta’s men a taste of the duo with a huge Premier League encounter looming Feb. 15 at the Emirates Stadium. Manchester City team news, injuries, lineup optionsMan City is pretty healthy and should be able to deploy whoever Pep Guardiola wants to see against Arsenal, though we know the Catalan wizard is sometimes careful with what he does in cup competitions against Premier League rivals.

Manchester United vs Reading: How to watch live, stream link, team newsNathan Ake scored the only goal in a tight, cagey affair as Manchester City edged out Arsenal to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup on Friday. [ MORE: How to watch Premier League in USA]The two sides, who currently sit 1st (Arsenal – 50 points) and 2nd (Manchester City – 45 points) in the Premier League table, are yet to face another amid their ongoing title race. Friday’s cup tie was merely a table-setter for the main course(s) still to come over the PL’s final four months, but an instructive table-setter, for sure.
Premier League clash no. 1 is set for Wednesday, Feb. 15 at Emirates Stadium in north London, with the return fixture at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, April 26. As for the FA Cup tie, there was precious little to separate the sides aside from a single touch off the inside of Ake’s right foot in the 64th minute.

The Gunners can go eight points clear before the two-time defending champions next take the field.
Sitting fourth in the Premier League table, Manchester United have 39 points from 20 matches. They were on an impressive run until recently, as they failed to win back-to-back league matches. After conceding late to settle for a draw away at Crystal Palace, the Red Devils lost a 3-2 thriller to leaders Arsenal.

Besides, they are entering this game on the back of registering a thumping 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup first leg semi-final. The same cannot be said for Reading, who are going through a poor run of games. The visitors are placed 14th in the Championship table with 37 points from 28 games. They are heading into this game on the back of suffering a 4-0 defeat to Stoke City.
