Coventry and Manchester United meet at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-finals and both Everton and Nottingham Forest look to stay above the drop zone when they meet at Goodison Park in the Premier League. We’ve provided recent form and head-to-head statistics for five matches we think have the potential to end in a draw.

Coventry and Manchester United contest their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. Their last meeting was Coventry’s 2-0 win in the 3rd round of the League Cup back in 2007.
Coventry edged a 3-2 win over Premier League Wolves to set up this semi-final. The Sky Blues have lost back-to-back matches in the Championship to Southampton (2-1) and Birmingham (3-0).
