Man United play host to Chelsea in the quarter-final of the FA Cup today (4.30pm KO, Live on ITV1), and look a solid bet at 5/6 with BetVictor and Paddy Power to beat their arch rivals.
It will be the eleventh tie in the competition between the pair, and the Red Devils lead the head-to-head record by eight wins to two.
Chelsea have also never won in five previous FA Cup games at Old Trafford, losing four, drawing one and scoring just one goal in total.
United have also have only lost two of their 20 FA Cup home games, winning 16 and drawing two, so the stats are certainly good as far as far as they are concerned.
Sir Alex’s side have also been in far better form than the Blues this season, and will certainly be up for this having been robbed of a potential Champions League triumph over Real Madrid in midweek when Nani was controversially sent off.
He will be out to make a statement after that game, and I fully expect the players to respond and deliver the goods.
In the goalscorer markets I think the value could be Hernandez.
The young Mexican as netted in five of his last six games against the Chelsea in all competitions, and is a general 5/1 short to bag the opener.
He can also be backed at a tasty looking 7/5with sportingbet in the anytime scorer market. That looks a big price given his record, especially as he is as short as even money elsewhere.
I think United will be quick out of the blocks so backing them at a standout 2/1 with 888sport in the HT/FT market also makes plenty of appeal.
