Analysis Shrewsbury

The home team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (5th Round) after having eliminated: Sheffield Wednesday, Cardiff City, Grimsby Town and Gainsborough Trinity. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a away win against Blackpool by (2‑3). Shrewsbury has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5 of the last 10 home matches.

They haven’t lost any of the last 5 matches for this competition. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 1 of the last 5 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 2.

Shrewsbury Town in the Divison III in the Enligsh League and in the previous match managed a 3-2 win against Blackpool. Aware of his team's flaws, coach Micky Mellon will try and play a defensive minded game, trying to move forward through long balls. So they are expected to play in a 5-3-2 formation. Akpro will be the best forward in the field with 3 scored goals. Wesolowski and Grimmer will be unavailable for this matchup.

Confirmed Lineup: Jayson Leutwiler, Zak Whitbread, Jermaine Grandison, Junior Brown, Jack Grimmer, Nathaniel Knight-Percival, Ian Blackstone, Abu Ogogo, Shaun Whalley, Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro.
Coach: A. Mangan, S. Cotterill.

Analysis Man Utd

The away team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (5th Round) after havinf played in the previous rounds against: Derby County and Sheffield United. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 5 conceded. In their last match, for the UEFA Europa League, they got an away loss against Midtjylland by (2‑1). In the last 10 away matches Man Utd has won 2, tied 3 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Manchester United's squad comes to this game after some inconsistency as they have two consecutive losses against two theoretically weaker sides. Usually, coach Van Gaal plays in a 4-2-3-1 formation looking for ball possession and organized attacks, however, for this match they should play in an "all out attack" mentality from the get go. It is important to remember that the team's top goal scorer, Wayne Rooney, is questionable for this matchup. Schweinsteiger, Shaw, Marcos Rojo, Young and Valencia are all out due to injuries.

Confirmed Lineup: Sergio Romero, Guillermo Varela, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Chris Smalling, Daley Blind, Jesse Lingard, Morgan Schneiderlin, Juan Mata, Ander Herrera, Memphis Depay, Anthony Martial.
Coach: E. ten Hag.
