Ole Gunnar Solskjær didn’t do himself any favors on Wednesday during Manchester United’s 2-0 loss to struggling Arsenal.
For the Norwegian, the loss was the latest chapter of what’s been an inconsistent tenure in charge of the Red Devils, and with the Premier League table long gone to Liverpool, a good showing in the FA Cup will be his most realistic opportunity to win back the trust of concerned fans.
They’ll be tasked with a visit to Wolverhampton, and Nuno Espírito Santo’s Wolves will be eager to bounce back nicely from Wednesday’s 2-1 defeat at Watford.
Elsewhere, Portugal powerhouses Sporting CP and Porto will do battle on Sunday. The match is a matter of second-place Porto trying to catch Benfica in a hurry, and Sporting should present a real challenge as it sits in third, though out of the UEFA Champions League berth picture.

FA Cup games are not on tv, they are being shown on a paid online platform. ESPN Plus is disgusting and an absolute No No. They are about to put the Bundesliga next season into oblivion as well. Gone…
I am watching the games I want to watch from the FA Cup, just not filling up the coffers of Mickey Mouse. Same with the Bundesliga next season.
A BBC for ESPN. Do I look like a cash cow?
How sad that ESPN bought up the rights to the FA Cup and the League Cup (whatever the difference is), only to refuse to actually broadcast a single game, even the bigger ones. I realize no one else seems to care, but it seems like dog-in-the-manger behavior, which does not make me want to hand them a single byte of my personal data, no matter how deceptively cheap the bait price.
