FA Cup team of the week – Round 4: defenders

FA Cup team of the week defenders are Ben Gibson (Middlesbrough) – Chris Smalling (Manchester United) –  Wes Morgan (Leicester City) – Pedro (Chelsea)

Left-back: Ben Gibson (Middlesbrough) – Boro were expected to see off Accrington Stanley, but Gibson helped, both in keeping a clean sheet and in his attacking efforts when he pushed forward.

Centre-back: Chris Smalling (Manchester United) – Scored the vital second goal against Wigan Athletic to kill off the Championship side. Helped United keep another clean sheet, too.

Centre-back: Wes Morgan (Leicester City) – The captain stopped Leicester’s sorry season from getting worse with a late equaliser to prevent local rivals Derby County from knocking them out.

Right-back: Pedro (Chelsea) – Used out of position as a wing-back against Brentford, he adjusted well to score one goal, set up another and excel in a 4-0 victory.
