It’s the FA Cup third round and we all know what that means… an underdog story. Whilst the lower league clubs dream of a giant killing, two of the longest standing Premier League clubs go head-to-head at Old Trafford.
We’ve picked out some of the best bets available from NetBet Sport’s latest odds to help you win some money on the Friday night football.
Man United vs Everton
Friday 6th January, 8pm
Old Trafford, Manchester
Man United vs Everton Preview
Two teams in hugely contrasting form will meet in Manchester on Friday evening. United head into the fixture having won four consecutive matches without conceding a goal since the return of domestic football, whilst Everton have picked up just one point in three.
Everton make the trip to Old Trafford off the back of a 4-1 thumping at home against Brighton, as pressure begins to mount on Frank Lampard. The Toffees have now won just once in 11 matches since the beginning of October.
In the opposing camp, things are on the up – especially at Old Trafford. United have won seven in a row on home soil, keeping six clean sheets in the process. It remains to be seen how much Erik ten Hag will decide to rotate, but the Red Devils will be favourites regardless thanks to their deep squad.
United have not lost at home against Everton in nearly a decade, winning four and drawing four since 2013. Everton will welcome a cup run to take fans’ minds of their dire league form, but there would have to be a huge momentum shift for this to go the way of the Merseyside blues.
FA Cup Football Betting Odds
The hosts are 1.49 favourites ahead of the clash, with a draw at 4.10 and Everton win at 6.40. Both teams to score is priced at 1.93, with odds of 1.81 for either team to keep a clean sheet tempting for a combo.
Anthony Martial (4.90) and Marcus Rashford (5.40) lead the odds to open the scoring, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin (9.10) and Neal Maupay (9.80) most likely to be on target for the visitors.
Man United vs Everton Betting Tips
Man United win to nil – 2.39
United have won six of their last seven home games to nil, as well as their four games prior to Friday night. Everton have also failed to find the net in four of their last six away games. Based on the current form, this looks a solid option.
Rashford to score first – 5.40
Rashford has netted in four successive games for the first time in his career – he is in the form of his life. It’s tough to predict whether he will be rested, but if not, he is United’s biggest threat.
HT/FT: Man United/Man United – 2.21
This selection has landed in five of United’s previous six home matches. They come flying out the blocks, and once ahead, they don’t tend to give up anything.
