IT’S all about Wayne Rooney vs Man United as the final FA Cup last-eight place is decided on Thursday night.
Rooney will be hoping his Derby side give a good account of themselves and it’s bound to be a special night for the Old Trafford legend.
The Rams beat United at Old Trafford last season but were on a poor run until winning at Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to field a strong side – United reach the last four of the EFL Cup and this is possibly his best chance of winning silverware with Liverpool out. The winners are away to Norwich.
Derby games have been high scoring recently with the previous seven seeing both score while United are doing better with new signing Bruno Fernandes showing his class and contributing goals. Man United and both to score could be the call at 11-5 at bet365.
Rooney is 3-1 at Paddy Power to net at any time and 10-1 to break the deadlock. SlipsTips has posted a Derby vs Man United match preview.
Elsewhere there are cup ties in Spain, Italy, France and Holland. The semi-final second leg between Napoli and Inter looks set to be given the go-ahead despite the coronavirus spreading across Italy.
Napoli stunned their rivals with a 1-0 win at the San Siro and should complete the job. Rino Gattuso’s men have won five of their last six and five of seven meetings have gone under 2.5 so should be tight.
It’s Granada vs Athletic Bilbao in Spain, St Etienne vs Rennes in France and Feyenoord vs Breda and I’ll have a closer look at all the games before putting up tips in the morning.
Well done to all the Wednesday winners including Greg, SlipsTips, HullShaker and Scott with his members bet.
My two trebles were losers despite backing against Celtic – I didn’t see Rangers losing at home to Hamilton although I couldn’t have backed them at around 1-9.
