Squad sheets: Manchester United v Crawley Town

For once, 35-1 for an away win looks a little miserly. Second in the Blue Square Bet Premier takes on the Barclays Premier League leaders with Crawley trying to become the first non-league side to reach the last eight since the second world war. Over 9,000 away fans are expected at Old Trafford to savour the greatest cup shock or, more realistically, an afternoon when United cannot win regardless of the outcome. Sir Alex Ferguson will shuffle with next week's Champions League trip to Marseille in mind but, as Leeds and also Burton almost showed, he should keep some insurance on the bench.
