LONDON (AP) - The spectre of two recent racist incidents will hang over the FA Cup this weekend, with tensions high as the clubs involved prepare to play each other again.

Manchester United will travel to Anfield on Saturday for the first time since defender Patrice Evra was repeatedly racially abused by Liverpool striker Luis Suarez in a league match in October.

Chelsea captain John Terry is set to play at Queens Park Rangers days for the first time since prosecutors decided to charge him with racially abusing Anton Ferdinand in the last meeting of the west London clubs in October.

Terry's legal team will enter a not guilty plea on his behalf in a London court next week, with the defender not planning to attend the initial hearing.
