Coventry City's dream run in the FA Cup has taken them to the semi-final stage, but they face a huge task in overcoming competition royalty Manchester United to reach the final at Wembley.

Man Utd have endured another disappointing season and the FA Cup represents their only opportunity for real success.

Here is how the two squads are looking heading into the game on Sunday.

Coventry Team News

.

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto is a long-term absentee for the Sky Blues, while it looks like Jamie Allen won't feature after picking up a calf injury not long after recovering from a fractured cheekbone.

A big miss will be Kasey Palmer, who is suspended after collecting another yellow in the quarter-final versus Wolves, though Coventry have been boosted by the recent return of Matty Godden, in more positive news.

Key player: Coventry

Haji Wright has scored 15 goals and recorded five assists in the Championship this season and represents Coventry's biggest threat going forward.

Man Utd Team News

Man Utd's defence has been ravaged by injuries as all of Raphael Varane, Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Victory Lindelof and Luke Shaw are either out or major doubts for this one.

Only Evans allegedly has a shot of making it.

Scott McTominay has missed United's last two games due to a knee problem and won't make it, while Anthony Martial is also out.

Key player: Man Utd

Bruno Fernandes has received praise for his passionate attitude recently, but he'll be hoping that translates into a goal or assist in this one to guide United to the final.
