Man Utd vs Reading LIVE: Team news, line-ups and more from FA Cup fourth round as Harry Maguire starts
Always issues but will have strong squad, Sancho could play – Ten Hag
Manchester United hope to continue their strong cup form as they host Reading at Old Trafford in the FA Cup fourth round tonight. Erik ten Hag seems determined to put the Red Devils in the best possible position to win a trophy this season. United took a commanding lead in their Carabao Cup semi-final with a 3-0 first leg win against Nottingham Forest and will want to advance in the FA Cup by defeating Reading tonight.
Reading are currently 14th in the Championship and are managed by Paul Ince, who featured nearly 300 times for Manchester United shirt during his playing career. Ince won this competition twice while a Manchester United player and is nearing the end of his first 12 months in charge of the Royals and will be hopeful of causing a cup shock.
Reading could call upon a fit-again Andy Carroll as they attempt cause trouble for the hosts but Man Utd may be boosted by the return of Jadon Sancho. The England winger has not featured for the club since October but is back training with the first team and could get a run out against the Championship club.

Preston 0-0 Tottenham
48 mins: Shot! Tottenham pick up where they left off in the first half. They’re controlling the ball and passing it confidently up to the Preston final third then run out of ideas.
A hurry of passes sees the ball moved across to Clement Lenglet and he smokes one from range but drills his effort over the bar!

How long will Antonio Conte leave it before introducing Harry Kane. The England captain scored the winner against Portsmouth last time out in the competition.
Will Spurs require his services once again?

Will Jadon Sancho play?
As part of Friday’s pre-match press conference Erik ten Hag was aksed whether Jadon Sancho would feature tonight and he replied:
“He is training with the team and we will see. I said he’s on the way back, he’s making steps.”
Sancho wasn’t seen travelling to Old Trafford with the rest of the players so he may not be included in the matchday squad.
