I think this game will be a lot tougher for United than everyone else thinks it will be. Ewood Park has always been a tricky venue for the Reds, and it has been a fixture which has resulted in tight games for the past 5 or 6 years.
United looked extremely nervous against Fulham last weekend and I think having picked up on this, Sir Alex Ferguson would have had a talk with the team telling them that the league is in our hands, especially after City slipping up on Saturday. There is no team or manager that is more experienced in this situation than United and Fergie. They know how to see out nitty, gritty games, which I think this one will be.
Blackburn will be equally up for this one, fighting for their lives at the bottom of the table. They have showed some decent form of late but I think the quality and experience of United will triumph in a tight, nervy match.
I was delighted to see the value I am getting with tonight’s pick which meant my stake didn’t have to be as big as I would have thought.
United to win by 1 goal @ 4.00 (0.5u)
Rooney to score Anytime @ 1.91 (1.2u)
Penalty to be awarded @ 5.00 (0.3u)
Phil Jones to get booked @ 5.80 (0.25u)
Over 30 booking points @ 1.83 (1.2u)
A lot of bets tonight on one game. Quite unusual for me but I see a lot of value there. I was surprised to see the booking points so low. This is a big game for both teams and I think there will be a lot of flying challenges tonight.
