One of the main sub-plots of this FA Cup season has been the lower-ranked clubs getting results against the big sides and there is a lot to like about Middlesbrough’s chances here if they really come out and play their best match of the season. The first-half will be absolutely telling and if Arsenal are struggling to move the ball well and Middlesbrough’s defence are getting stuck in on a regular basis and able to find some room behind the Gunners defensive unit.

Arsenal trade at a 4/9 price tag while Boro can be backed at one of the longest prices of the entire weekend with a 13/2 listing that will surely tempt plenty who don’t think Arsenal have what it takes to play it out against a physical side like this one. It’s also worth it just on price alone - though many will not be surprised to see the prototypical 2-0 Arsenal scoreline once we see the end of the match.
Manchester United travel to Preston on Monday and they will be coming up against a team that are searching for their fourth win on the bounce. Both sides endured pretty disappointing starts to the season and Manchester United are continuing to hold steady in their race for a Champions League spot next year.
Unbeaten in seven matches and, coming in off a 3-1 result against Burnley in which they didn’t even really play all that well, United will be looking to make an example of Preston and show that they have their sights firmly set on a piece of silverware this season.
All things considered, an FA Cup and a Champions League spot wouldn’t exactly be a terrible result for Louis Van Gaal at the end of his first season. Look for Manchester United to drop from their current 1/2 price tag while Preston North End can be backed at a 6/1 listing and the draw trades at 16/5.
As is customary with most recent Manchester United games, this one is worth looking at for a Both Teams to Score wager. Both sides to find the back of the net and United to win the match would pay out at an 11/5 listing.
