2009-04-19 - Manchester United vs Everton

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Analysis:

Manchester United will be hoping to set up the final everyone is hoping for that is against Chelsea when they take on Everton in the semi-finals today.

Everton on the other hand will look to the spirit of 1995 when a Paul Rideout goal was enough to see off United in the FA Cup final. But that was their last cup victory as since then they have had just two FA Cup quarter-final appearances to shout about in 2001/02 and 1998/99 since that famous win 14 years ago.

David Moyes was quick to point out that this will be the biggest match of his career even though last season they were beaten by Chelsea in the two legged semi-finals.

Moyes believes his side has a fair chance of causing an upset and beat the odds here. Motes added that games against United have been tight this year as well as in the past. Interestingly these two sides already met on Thursday when the reserves of Manchester United won 2-0 against the reserves of Everton. In that match, striker James Vaughan played the full 90 minutes so he is likely to start this match after proving his fitness. Jo is cup tied so Vaughan is expected to fill the gap.

Nigerian defender Joseph Yob is also expected to come into the starting lineup after he recovered from his hamstring injury suffered against Portsmouth.

For Manchester United they have not won the FA Cup since they defeated Milwall back in 2004 managing to come second best to Arsenal in 2005 and Chelsea in 2007. So they will be eager to win this match now.

After a good result against Porto and the return of Rio Ferdinand, United seem poised to go on and set up a repeat of the 2007 Final with Chelsea. Ferdinand will partner Nemanja Vidic at the back.
The likes of Anderson, Rafael Da Silva and Dimitar Berbatov have all recovered from their injuries and is likely to be available here.
Midfielder Darren Fletcher could be brought in after missing the game in Portugal with a hamstring injury but is now fit.

Take Manchester United and give the 3/4 ball here.

Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
