Man Utd will be playing Sunderland this Saturday. I was surprised to see the odds at Pinnacle are currently as high as 1.833.
Pounded for 2 units.

Yeah pretty good price your got there because the public will definitely move that line probably to like 1.6; but I'm a little worried because MN U played a very physical game @ Valencia yesterday and that could have its toll. Also Sunderland already beat City at home this year and held Arsenal to a draw. Then again that's a great value there and Man U has won its last 4 games @ Sunderland
BOL.
I fail to see any value on Man Utd here. The line is that high for a reason. Sunderland don't lose at home easily and Man Utd have not given me any reason why I should back them on the road in the EPL.

Sunderland will play D, and wait for counter attack chances with the ball will focused to Darrent Bent, this guy loves to score at late time of game.

There's a long line of United victories on Sunderland ground in EPL, 13 years since Sunderland last won a H2H. I won't get involved in this one though, MU hasn't had the best start of season and I don't really trust them right now, even if 1.83 sounds pretty good.

If Rooney was scoring goals, Berbs would still be shit.

Sunderland is one of the most solid teams in the EPL right now, they should have beat Liverpool 2-0 but thanks to the referee they didn't. I think it's worth taking Sunderland on the handicap at least.

Manchester United to win 2-1 , 3-1.
I dont think this game will end in a draw and for Sunderland to win its too much, it won't go their way this time and they will be frustrated, they have done enough damage for now

Odds are about right. United are coming back from Europe and our last 5 games away in Europe have been followed by a loss. Though we've owned Sunderland in the past (winning last 4 at the Stadium of Light; 12-3-0 in last 15 meetings), it will be a difficult game. With Giggs and Scholes out, it will take some time for our midfield to gel and create for our strikers as you could see against Valencia. We have the depth though and the one thing United are notorious for is grinding out results when we're not playing our best. Though we've leaked a few goals, the return of the Ferdinand/Vidic partnership has solidified our back 4 and Valencia had a tough time breaking us down.
Sunderland have played well with some fantastic displays against Arsenal and Liverpool (although that's not much to brag about these days), so there is a 'chance' for a bit of a letdown (at least I hope). I'm not sure if Bent up front alone can carry Sunderland to 3pts, not with Vidic and Ferdinand keeping a close eye on him. Wellbeck has been impressive for Sunderland but he can't play against us so that takes away from their attacking options.
I think United at least get a point from this and will probably nick it in the 2nd half....2-1.

Isn't this the same situation as you backing Real Madrid to beat Lyon?

yeah odds are this high for a reason, sunderland will defend, MU is in trouble with injuried players. Bookies took smart money on the home side and upped the odds ldo. They shouldnt have won in Vallencia either.

They shouldn't have won a lot of games, but some how they manage to just freakin win games.

Bottomline. Even if Sunderland wins you cant take them against the soccer club that has had more bounces and last minute goals than any team in a 20 year span ever.

Valencia the latest victim. United did improve their defense and probably go on the road to Sunderland looking to improve on their away record so far this season, but I still don't like putting money on United ML, it's not worth it.

Also took Man Utd, but got them at a slightly lower price in 1.75. I see a very tough game here, but see Man Utd scraping through in the same fashion as they did so against Valencia. I think with the inclusion of Ferdinand the United defense will gain a massive confidence boost, and start to get back to that vice like defensive grip they have on games.

It's worth betting on another game with better value. People who only follow the popular leagues will probably just see the United line as a rare opportunity, I see it as a coin flip that doesn't have the right odds for my money.

I'm on Sunderland PK and +0.5
The only way for Sunderland to actually win the game (-0.5 handicap) is to be up by two when the injury time starts.

Looks like Rooney is out, Man U is a NO BET; if your bookie offers +1 on Sunderland then make sure you get on that.
