Saturday’s Top Tips: Erik’s Red Devils Aim to Dodge Craven Defeat

ALL eyes will be on Craven Cottage today as Fulham bid to cap a nightmare week for Erik Ten Hag by sending Manchester United crashing to a third successive defeat.

It has been such a horrific few days for the haunted Dutchman that kids were probably tempted to dress up as him for Halloween.

Successive 3-0 defeats to Manchester City and Newcastle have left him clinging to his job by his fingertips and Fulham could deliver the coup de grace at lunchtime today.

I’m surprised to see Marco Silva’s men as big as 5/2 with BetMGM and plenty of punters will back them at that price.

Defence remains Ten Hag’s biggest problem and Fulham’s forwards could get a bit of joy. Silva has been rotating his squad but Bobby Decordova-Reid plays most weeks and is 7/4 at Unibet just to have a shot on target.

Manchester City romped to a 3-0 derby win last weekend and should follow it up with another victory at home to struggling Bournemouth.

Andoni Iraola isn’t a coach who parks the bus so we should see plenty of goals and over 1.5 first-half strikes pays 19/20 at Coral.

The evening game is a cracker as Arsenal visit St James’ Park and it’s another game that promises a few thrills.

Both sides will go for it and I fancy a few corners, with over 10.5 flag kicks paying 5/4 at Paddy Power.

There’s a big game in Scotland too as Hibs and Aberdeen face off at Hampden in the first of the League Cup semi-finals.

There’s little between these sides so I thought the betting would be pretty even. But Hibernian are odds-on favourites to qualify and you can back the Dons at 11/10 with McBookie in the same market.

That looks decent value to me as both teams have impressive attacks while the Dons seem to have a stronger defence.

It should be a tight game and the half-time draw is always a good option in a semi-final. It pays a best 8/7 with VBet this evening.
