Alexis Sanchez makes his Manchester United debut in the fourth round of the FA Cup away to Yeovil Town.

United have won their last four matches in all competitions – overcoming Derby County at Old Trafford in the third round of the FA Cup earlier this month; in addition to recording victories over Everton, Stoke City and Burnley in the Premier League.

The Red Devils have not yet conceded a single goal in 2018, and they will fancy their chances of booking their spot in the fourth round of the FA Cup ahead of a trip to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League next week.

United are 12-time winners of the FA Cup, with their last trophy coming in 2016. This competition has taken on more on importance this season when considering their elimination from the EFL Cup, and indeed Manchester City's 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.

For Yeovil, the game is a distraction from the league as they are currently battling relegation and sit 21st, just two points above the drop zone.

Midfielder Otis Khan's five match ban will begin on Friday against Manchester United. The 22-year-old was sent off for pushing referee Kevin Johnson during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Chesterfield Town. Yeovil appealed the suspension, but it was upheld on Wednesday.
