The Emirates FA Cup semi-finals kick-off on Saturday (17:15) when Premier League sides Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head at Wembley Stadium.

The Red Devils, who defeated AFC Bournemouth 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday to bounce back from their shock loss at home to West Bromwich Albion last weekend, are looking to reach their second final in three years after lifting the 2016 FA Cup at the national stadium.

Meanwhile Spurs, who were held back to a 1-1 draw at Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday night, have not reached the final of this competition since lifting the trophy back in 1991.

Each club has beaten each other in their respective home Premier League fixtures this season, with Tottenham most recently defeating United 2-0 at Wembley back in January thanks to an early strike from Christian Eriksen and an own goal from Red Devils defender Phil Jones.

Manchester United’s Romelu Lukaku.

Striker Romelu Lukaku is United’s danger man, having scored 27 goals in all competitions since his summer switch from Everton.

Meanwhile England international Harry Kane is undoubtedly Spurs’ star man, having found the back of the net 37 times this season.

With an FA Cup final place up for grabs on Saturday, here is how key men Lukaku and Kane match up so far this season ahead of this scintillating semi-final clash…
