FA Cup: "Chelsea are dangerous": Mark Lawrenson makes prediction for Manchester United V Chelsea

Manchester United and Chelsea are preparing to face each other in the FA Cup semi-finals. Ahead of the game, BBC Sport football expert  Mark Lawrenson has made his prediction. "I'm backing United and Chelsea to edge out Leicester and both finish in the top four in the league. But United have the edge when these two go head to head, and I think they will beat the Blues for the fourth time this season on Sunday," said Lawrenson. "United's improvement is not just down to the fact their front three are playing well, but it definitely helps that they are finishing off so much of the good work done by the rest of their team. "Chelsea are dangerous when they come forward too, of course. I just think United carry more of a threat, and they are more solid at the other end too. "There have been a few all-London FA Cup finals before but if I am right with my predictions, and City and United both win and play each other on 1 August, then it would be a huge shame that their fans will not be able to come along for the first all-Manchester final. "The first all-Merseyside FA Cup final was an incredible occasion to be a part of as a player in 1986, with Liverpool and Everton fans taking over the capital without any trouble at all. "City and United fans would have done the same, but this is just the way football is at the moment whoever you support." Lawrenson's score prediction: 2-0 source - BBC Join us on Telegram
