88'
88'

87'
Rafael is penalised for a fair tackle on Obinna. The latter will take the freekick from near the corner flag...
86'
Giggs takes the corner and it is easy for West Ham to clear. He must be great at corners in training because he is useless on matchday.
85'
United win a corner.
84'
Boa Morte smashes the ball against Fletcher in open play... a little bit of anger is still there from that earlier tussle I think.
83'
Giggs chips in a cross. Hernandez gets his head to the ball but his effort goes wide of goal.

74'
73'
Obertan lays the ball off to Hernandez, who takes a quick look at goal and shoots just over the bar from 30-yards out.
73'
72'

68'

56'
Obinna casuing all sorts of problems again. A great cross from the left is glanced into the far corner by Cole. A mountain to climb for United.
55'
54'
Macheda gives the ball away to Obinna. West Ham are happy to keep possession for short spell.
53'
Anderson tracks the run of Obinna and manages to stick with the pacey forward.
53'
West Ham can't get hold off the ball.
52'

17'
It was the right decision by the linesman. What a great spot. No Goal!
16'
Nobody is sure why at first. The replay shows the deflection came off a West Ham player, who was offside.
15'
No it doesn't stand!
15'
14'

Manchester United get the game underway, wearing white shirts and black shorts, kicking from left to right.
A place in the semi-finals awaits the winner.
The teams are out on the pitch and are greeted by a few whisps of snow. It's a cold night in east London.
West Ham look like they will start with Ben-Haim at left-back, so he will be up against Bebe, who needs a good game amid rumours his team-mates haven't been too impressed.
Bebe plays for United, as Fabio, Chris Smalling and Gabriel Obertan also get a chance to shine. Hernandez will be one to watch up front.
Bit of early team news: Upson plays for the Hammers. But Scott Parker is out. Carlton Cole is back in the side and playing up front.
West Ham won at the weekend.
