Manchester United are without a recognised forward for today’s crunch tie against Chelsea in the FA Cup quarterfinal, and former Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer believes his former side will carry the day.

“(I initially thought) It will be very close,” he said on talkSPORT.

“Obviously United are going there with so many players missing.

“It would have been very close but maybe less so now. Chelsea have the edge now.”

Many have tipped Marouane Fellaini or Juan Mata to play as a false nine.
