Coventry
The sole team from the Championship to reach such a late stage. On their journey to the semi-finals, they demolished Oxford United 6-2, defeated Sheffield Wednesday 5-2 over two legs, routed Maidstone 5-0, and narrowly overcame Wolverhampton 3-2. In terms of their domestic league performance, Coventry sits in eighth place in the Championship standings. They have accumulated 63 points from 42 matches and theoretically remain contenders for promotion to the Premier League. Regarding their recent form, Coventry has triumphed thrice and secured two victories in their last five matches.
Manchester United
Manchester United is the reigning runner-up of the FA Cup. In the previous season, they reached the final but were defeated by Manchester City 2-1. In this year's competition, they defeated Wigan 2-0, Newport 4-2, Nottingham 1-0, and orchestrated a thrilling victory over Liverpool in the quarter-finals, winning 4-3. However, their domestic league performance is not as commendable. Currently, the Red Devils occupy seventh place in the Premier League standings, having amassed 50 points from 32 matches. Concerning their recent form, United has only secured one victory, suffered one defeat, and played to three draws in their last five matches.
