Manchester United scored a late winner at the City Ground in the previous round of the FA Cup, with Casemiro’s header setting up a mouth-watering tie against Liverpool. We’re slightly surprised by the FA Cup betting odds considering that the Red Devils are trading at a big price with home advantage against opponents who are missing a number of key players.
It’s possible that Jurgen Klopp will field his strongest possible team at Old Trafford and that might yet include Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold. However, with the Carabao Cup already in the bag, it might be that Liverpool focus harder on landing the Premier League title rather than an FA Cup triumph.
United were able to claim an unlikely point when achieving a goalless draw at Anfield recently, with Ten Hag also executing a good game plan at the Etihad recently despite losing the game 3-1. There will be hope that Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho can provide some cutting-edge on the counter attack and Liverpool might be too short for this game.
We certainly think Manchester United on the Asian Handicap could be worth a bet. After all, this game has more significance for them than Liverpool considering the latter are also fighting hard to win the Premier League title, while they also have a Europa League engagement with Sparta Prague over two games.
