Chelsea host Manchester United in the FA Cup quarterfinals this weekend and should easily dispatch the Red Devils who will be without Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Jose Mourinho returns to Stamford Bridge this weekend hoping to knock his former side out of the FA Cup. He was once adored by Chelsea fans. Now as Manchester United’s manager he is seen as the enemy.

Here are the top five reasons that Chelsea will dispatch Mourinho’s Red Devils and move on to Wembley Stadium and the FA Cup semifinals.
