West Ham United forced a no-score draw
at Old Trafford in the Premier League in December and, while their
recent away record in unenviable, they might just represent a shade
of value for their return visit, in the sixth round of the FA Cup, on
Sunday. The Red Devils’ latest 1-0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion
at the Hawthorns owed much to the dismissal of Juan Mata after 26
minutes but, even so, Baggies’ keeper Ben Foster didn’t need to
make a single save. Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has said
that winning the Europa League – in which United face Liverpool at
Anfield on Thursday – is his priority this season so, with squad
rotation likely, his opposite number Slaven Bilic must be fancying
his chances of causing an upset.
Summer signings Dimitri Payet and
Michail Antonio have contributed 19 goals between them in all
competitions and, while Bilic has said that qualification for the
UEFA Champions League is ‘not realistic’ for his side this
season, he presumably wouldn’t say no to some silverware to take to
the former Olympic stadium next season. Antonio scored for his third
consecutive game against Everton last weekend, so let’s hope he
finds his shooting boots again at 9/2 with Bet365.
Selection: Michail Antonio
Anytime Scorer (9/2 with Bet365)
