Manchester United kick off their FA Cup for 2013 by
travelling to London to face promoted premier league team West Ham. The Red
Devils were knocked out by arch rivals Liverpool in the 4th round
last time around and Sir Alex will be seeing to it that his team progresses
further into the competition this time around. West Ham on the other hand would
be hoping that the home game would count to their advantage in trying to sneak an
unlikely victory over the 11 time FA cup champions.
