Manchester United vs Chelsea FA Cup Betting Tips Part 1

It’s absolutely vital for Sir Alex Ferguson’s men to get things back on track after one of the most disappointing losses in quite some time last week with United crashing out of the Champions League in the knock out stages courtesy of Real Madrid and one of the dodgiest red cards you’ll see in a while.

A vulnerable Chelsea side awaits in tomorrow’s fixture, which takes place at Old Trafford, and you can bank on the bookmakers pushing United all the way for this one with an odds-on price to open up the day’s action. 

As it currently stands, punters can back Manchester United at a 4/5 listing with popular bookmaker William Hill. The draw is trading at a 23/10 price and that would see us replay the fixture in a week’s time or so. With United out of another competition but Chelsea looking to solidify their Premier League campaign for second, there is little question that both sides would prefer to avoid a draw. 

Chelsea are at a 15/4 price and that’s a bit of a weird price that one probably doesn’t expect to hold for particularly long. Expect Chelsea to take some money as their fans may consider United to be relatively beatable in this FA Cup clash. The gamble essentially is - is morale low at United right now. 

The first goal in this fixture is crucial and one of the most interesting factors is Chelsea’s quality performances away from home and their relative mediocrity at the Emirates. Rafa Benitez has seen his situation go from bad to worse in the past few days and it’s fairly clear that he’s not going to be anywhere near Chelsea next season - and may not be until the end of the season, either. 

In regards to outright qualification, this includes any extra time or replays, trades at 4/9 for United with Chelsea sitting at 13/8.
