    Brighton midfielder Steve Sidwell: "Huddersfield would have been tipped to go straight back down when they got promoted, they were the underdogs and there was no pressure on them.

    "The manager relays his messages to his players and the fans play their part too. It has now got to a point where you see who deals with the pressure the best."

    Wilfried Zaha has as big as an affect on Crystal Palace as Lionel Messi does with Barcelona. Palace are seriously average without Zaha but decent with him. He gives them angles, drags players out of position.

    Mamadou Sakho, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Yohan Cabaye have all been passed fit following lengthy spells out.

    Wilfried Zaha has shown no ill-effects after appearing as a substitute on his comeback last week and is set to start.

    Mat: Mourinho ranting. Time to worry, United fans. The man is hitting his third year plot-loss early. At least you didn't give him an extended deal!

    Han Yolo: Mourinho's right in the sense that since the 2011 final, United's Champions League record has been shaky but that's no excuse to keep it that way. 'We were bad then so it's not a big deal if we are bad now' really shouldn't wash with anyone.

    And if United go out of the FA Cup today?..

    Huddersfield's form may have dipped since Christmas but they're still very handily placed to prove many pundits wrong by surviving in the Premier League.

    Four points clear of the relegation zone with just eight games to play is a position they would've settled for when the season kicked-off.

    Four consecutive defeats have plunged Palace back into the relegation zone but their crippling injury list has improved, so Roy Hodgson will hope results do as well.

    It's another big day at the wrong end of the Premier League table. The bottom three are all in action. Palace's trip to West Yorkshire could be crucial in the relegation fight.

    (all times GMT)

    At the top, Liverpool could move above Spurs and up into third with a win at home to Watford.

    Six years ago today Fabrice Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch during the first half of Bolton's FA Cup quarter-final at Tottenham at Tottenham.

    Doctors said he was "in effect dead" for 78 minutes after his collapse, and he remained in hospital until April 16.

    Acting on medical advice, he retired from professional football in August 2012, at the age of 24.

    "I thank God that I am alive and I pay tribute once again to the members of the medical team who never gave up on me," he said at the time.

  10. 'I was bored senseless'published at 10:32 Greenwich Mean Time 17 March 2018

    Man Utd v Brighton (19:45 GMT)

    Pat Nevin
    BBC Radio 5 live on Jose Mourinho's 12-minute speech

    I was bored senseless. It's not a rant, it's a state of a nation address and proof that Jose Mourinho can use Google. Jose, you don't need to do that.

    There is going to be a reaction from fans and the media to going out of the Champions League. Jose likes to control things and he's controlling this by going on for twelve-and-a-half-minutes so we are talking about him talking.

    I think if Liverpool go out of the Champions League they will go out with a fight. I think if Manchester City go out they will go out with a fight.

    Manchester United's exit from the Champions League kind of felt limp.

    Jose Mourinho: Man Utd's impassioned 12-minute speech

    Also making the news on Friday was Jose Mourinho's speech in front of the cameras at his press conference.

    Was it calculated or was it from the heart? Was it a defence of his team or a defence of himself? Regardless of your interpretation, we can all agree it was quite long (12 minutes for you in the video above).

    Not everyone was impressed by it...

  12. VAR - the story so farpublished at 10:23 Greenwich Mean Time 17 March 2018

    Video assistant referees will be used in the FA Cup again this weekend, and in case you missed it yesterday, Fifa has now formally approved the technology for the World Cup, too.

    "We need to live with the times," said Fifa president Gianni Infantino.

    "We wanted to give the referees tools so they can make better decisions, and in the World Cup some very important decisions are made."

    How has it gone so far? Should it be implemented permanently in English football?

    Swansea v Tottenham (12:15 GMT)

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "Every game has been tough, just look at Newport and Rochdale, we needed replays to go through.

    "The competition is different to the Premier League. Swansea are fighting for survival in the Premier League, Carlos Carvalhal has done a great job and it will be tough again.

    "We expect a great atmosphere and Swansea will be motivated to go to the semi-final, like us.

    "It would be fantastic for the players, for us and for the fans to be involved in the semi-final but we need to understand that first of all, we need to beat Swansea."

    Swansea City

    Swansea City boss Carlos Carvalhal: "Tottenham have high expectations in all competitions and they want to win trophies.

    "But me saying that will not put any pressure on them. When you are one of the big clubs, there is pressure to win every game you play.

    "They are a better team than us, but in football you know that even if the opponents are better, if they have a bad day and you have a very good day, you can win."

    Swansea will be without suspended top scorer Jordan Ayew while his brother Andre is cup-tied.

    Midfielder Andy King is also cup-tied so winger Nathan Dyer, striker Tammy Abraham and former Spurs midfielder Tom Carroll could all start.

    Defender Toby Alderweireld may return to Tottenham's team after resuming training following a leg injury.

    Striker Harry Kane remains sidelined with a damaged ankle and is unlikely to return to training until next month.
