Live on BBC1: Mon 19.45: Manchester United are 18/5 (BetVictor) to beat Preston after a drawn first half in the FA Cup.
Manchester United couldn’t defeat Cambridge at the first attempt in the last round but they’re a slender 1/2 with Stan James to take just 90 minutes to sidestep Preston (7/1, Skybet) at Deepdale on Monday.
Louis Van Gaal’s tactics and indeed United’s style of play have come under plenty of scrutiny this week and they might have to win ugly in this one, against a North End outfit coming into the clash on the back of three straight victories.
A narrow triumph could be on the cards then and a case can be made for bet365’s 13/5 for the visitors to edge it by a one-goal margin but the statistics suggest that the best bet is BetVictor’s 18/5 for an away success on the back of an even first period, as United have gone in on level terms at the break in nine of their last ten on the road.
