Sunderland have made a dominant start at the Cottage, with Ricky Alvarez tricking his way into the penalty area - but his low cross is well dealt with by the men in white.

Rich Williams:, external 35 Cambridge United coaches stuck on the motorway!

Will Jackson:, external I don't think United are playing three at the back. McNair as a right-back, Rojo as a left-back and Blind playing as a holding midfielder in a 4-3-3.

Andy Waters:, external 3-5-2 WORKS. Our dodgy defence keeps clean sheets, and we rely on our endless stock of attacking talent to get by. IT DOES WORK.

Mark Taylor:, external Are you ready all you United haters? This will be like the boat race in 1978 as Cambridge sink without trace. Carry on hating.

Preston make a bright start and have a corner well cleared. Can North End end their bad run of form tonight?

We are under way at Craven Cottage, and also at the all-League One affair between Sheffield United and Preston.

"I was amazed it took Fulham such a long time to give Kit Symons the manager's job. It wouldn't surprise me if he has some tricks up his sleeve and his side surprise their Premier League opponents tonight."

will.one.is:, external Bought an A-Level revision guide on the internet, sent me the wrong one, failed the exam.

A late change for Sunderland as Steven Fletcher now replaces Connor Wickham up front. Wickham must have a late injury.

"It was different for Man Utd at Cambridge - it was a tight little pitch that allowed the hosts to get close to them, to squeeze them. Plus, it was absolutely freezing at the first leg. I went onto the pitch at half-time and the wind went right through you, and that does affect you as a player.

"So, Cambridge try to stick to a similar gameplan. They should stick to that, even if they fall one or two behind. Stick to their guns."

Gus Poyet takes his Premier League strugglers to Fulham this evening and you can listen to full commentary from John Southall and Phil Brown at Craven Cottage on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra.

The teams are out at Fulham, Sunderland wearing a light blue number this evening.

Sean McLelland:, external Delayed kick-off? How rude! I need to be up early for work!

Phil Johnson:, external 3-5-2 doesn't work in the Premier League. Just because it's Cambridge United doesn't mean it will work in the FA Cup. Di Maria isn't a forward either.

Clyde Shaw:, external Van Gaal should be able to play a 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 formation and beat Cambridge. Relax Man U fans.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal on BT Sport: "Cambridge play direct, long balls. They have two strikers in their selection and they fight for every second ball. It is difficult to beat this kind of team.

"Chelsea lost at home to a third-level team after being 2-0 ahead so everything is possible. Not only in England, it is not always the case that the better team is winning. We have to take care to beat the lower team.

"This season the FA Cup is number one on our priority list. It is fantastic to win and it is a long time since we won this cup."

Kevin Thompson: Time to watch United struggle to beat Cambridge.

Paul Collins: Man Utd will win, but I don't get why Cambridge are going into it effectively believing they've lost already. That's surely not the right attitude if you want to cause an upset. They should be going there believing they can win.

"I do feel there will be goals tonight. It's a very positive line-up from Fulham and I think they will get goals. But I'm a Sunderland supporter and I want to see Jermain Defoe play. Both sides are set up in a 4-3-3 formation and both will attack and score goals."

Torture for those fans stranded on the M6. When will Cambridge play at Old Trafford next? I bet you won't get the coach then.

Edson Madeira:, external Bought some weights so I could start lifting, spent a good $100. Used them for 30 minutes...

Talk about feeling deflated..., external

@edwardssport:, external The coach has lost all air so the brakes and suspension won't work. Freezing. Talk of us getting taxis.

What's a black cab fare off of the M6 hard shoulder? Anyone?

Craig Barlow:, external Hope Man United repeat the Leicester game and go in 3-0 at half time. Then we will hopefully see Valdés get a 2nd half run out.

Freddy Harper-Davis:, external Kellett should be in the starting line-up, much better than Blind anyway.

Andy Kellett, the defender Manchester United signed on loan from Bolton yesterday, is ineligible - as only players registered in time for the first game against Cambridge 11 days ago can feature tonight...

We hear so often that it is a dream to be a professional footballer, so it is very interesting when a player takes the rare decision to jack it in. Today Forest Green Rovers defender Eddie Oshodi quit professional football at the age of 23.

Oshodi came up through the youth ranks at Watford, but spent the last four years at the New Lawn, making 127 first-team appearances.

He had his contract cancelled by mutual consent on Monday to allow him to seek a career away from the game.

"Football in the lower leagues isn't going to help me work in the future," he told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

"I don't want to be thought of as 'Eddie Oshodi - all he's known for is playing football'.

"I love to read and write and I love many things in life. I just think I need to focus on the other things I love to do."

Will he live to regret that decision?

Josh Hammond: 3-5-2? again? Really?! How much longer will it take for Van Gaal to realise that it doesn't work?

Mike Martin: Strong line-up... Cambridge taking no chances.

Luke Parsons: I honestly think Cambridge will get starstruck and fall apart. 4-0 to United.
