Birmingham v Manchester United, Tuesday 8pm
The Red Devils are sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League, although it seems to have escaped everybody’s attention that they have won just one away match all season. Indeed, part of the reason why they top the table is because Manchester United have played ten games at home compared with seven away and they have yet to show convincing form on the road.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s team have the chance to double their tally of away wins on Tuesday night, with the bookies making them 4/7 favourites (Skybet) to land the three points at St Andrews. United did look particularly strong when beating Sunderland on Boxing Day and the manager is almost certain to pair Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney in attack for this match. The Bulgarian has thirteen for the season after his brace against the Black Cats and can be backed at 5/1 (Coral) to score the first goal of the game.
Rooney (4/1 Skybet) continues to look sharp and it’s surely only a matter of time before the England centre forward starts to get back among the goals. However, this is a Birmingham side that like to keep things tight in front of their own supporters and City have conceded just six goals in their eight home games.
It doesn’t take a genius to consider that Under 2.5 Goals is a value bet in this match at 5/6 (bet365), while Birmingham’s players should be feeling fresh after their Boxing Day match at Everton was called off at the last minute. Alex McLeish will be hoping to get one over his former manager and City are 6/1 with Victor Chandler to be celebrating a famous victory.
McLeish will be looking to copy the blueprint that worked so well against Chelsea recently, namely score an early goal and then defend in numbers to ensure the opposition find it difficult to break you down. A 1-0 win in favour of the home side can be backed at a huge 15/1 with Canbet, while a United win by that scoreline is a 6/1 chance (Stan James).
