Therefore, the jackpot is looking more and more likely to be won this weekend, so it’s well worth having a go!
It’s hard to predict anything other than a United win this weekend in the fantastic form the World Champions are in. The Red Devils are likely to put out a far stronger side than they did in the defeat at Pride Park in the Carling Cup earlier in the season. Defensively they are as strong as any side in Europe at the moment and are unlikely to underestimate the ability of Nigel Clough’s side. Since losing at Pride Park, United are on an 8-match winning streak in all competitions including 6 clean-sheets. They’ve shown they have the ability to grind out win including four 1-0 wins in the last 7 games so even if it’s tight it’s hard not to fancy Sir Alex’s side.
Clough’s side have also hit a bit of form with straight wins in all competitions so confidence will be high in the Derby camp. Eight goals in those matches suggests that they may post United problems, particularly Rob Hulse who has scored 5 goals in as many games but write United off at your peril. After all, they’ve reached the final of this competition 3 times in the last 6 seasons and the Rams have conceded more goals in the FA Cup than any other team left in the competiton.
