Southampton may be the underdogs coming into this match, but they have proven that they are a force to be reckoned with in the FA Cup this season. Led by the impressive Mohamed Elyounoussi, who has already scored six goals in the tournament, the Saints will be looking to cause an upset and reach the final for the first time since 2002.
However, they will be facing a Manchester United side who are currently sitting in second place in the Premier League and have a wealth of talent at their disposal. Marcus Rashford and Antony have both been on fire in the FA Cup this season, scoring three goals each, and will be looking to continue their impressive form.
Manchester United have a rich history in the FA Cup, having lifted the trophy 12 times in their history.

Southampton will need to put in a strong performance if they are to overcome their opponents and progress to the final, but they will take heart from their impressive cup run so far this season.
The stage is set for an enthralling encounter, and football fans around the world will be eagerly anticipating the outcome of this fascinating FA Cup semi-final clash.

Southampton Fights for Survival
Rob Stock -- Southern Daily Echo
Their remaining fixtures include some of the toughest teams in the league: Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Wolves. But despite the odds stacked against them, Southampton fans are still hopeful that their team can pull off some upsets and secure the points they need to stay up.
Liverpool, currently sitting in 4th place in a Champions League spot, are fighting with Spurs who trail only by one point. The Reds are having a difficult season by their standards, but they are still a formidable opponent. Southampton will need to be at their very best to come away with a result, but they have shown in the past that they are capable of causing upsets.
Next, they will host Arsenal at St. Mary's. The Gunners have been inconsistent this season, but they have some of the best attacking players in the league. Southampton's defense will need to be on high alert if they hope to keep Arsenal at bay and pick up any points.
The following week, Southampton will travel to Stamford Bridge to face the league leaders, Chelsea. The Blues are currently sitting at the top of the table with 80 points, and a single point from this match would be enough to secure the league title. Southampton will need to be disciplined and focused if they hope to spoil Chelsea's celebrations and pick up any points.
Finally, Southampton will host Wolves in their last game of the season. Wolves are currently in 8th place in the league and are looking to secure a Europa League spot. This game could be the most important of the four for both teams, as it could determine their fate for the rest of the season. The Saints will need to be aggressive and take the game to Wolves if they hope to secure the points they need to stay up, while Wolves will be looking to continue their push for European football. Southampton fans will be hoping that their team can deliver when it matters most in this crucial match.
Meanwhile, their relegation rivals Fulham have a slightly easier schedule with games against Leicester City, Brighton, and Spurs. However, with only three games left and a six-point gap to make up, it may be too little too late for the Cottagers.
Southampton fans will be hoping that their team can pick up at least four points from their remaining four games to guarantee their safety. It will be a nervy few weeks for the Saints faithful, but they will be hoping that their team can deliver when it matters most.
