Man Utd vs Crystal Palace Betting – Goalscorer Money Back Special

Manchester United host Crystal Palace in the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup tonight with the match live on Sky Sports 1 at 19.45pm. United are the overwhelming 2/9 favourites, while Crystal Palace have been handed odds of 12/1 to dish out a cup upset at Old Trafford. Ladbrokes will refund your losing first goalscorer bets in this Carling Cup clash if your selection scores later in the game.

Tonight’s match will be the sixth League Cup meeting between the sides, with Palace failing to win any of the previous five encounters. They have not won at Old Trafford since way back in 1989 and the last time the sides met they were thumped 5-2. United have won this competition four times, with their most recent title coming in 2010. By even fielding a reserve team United should simply be too strong for a struggling Palace and if they hit the back of the net early on then it could easily be a case of how many. Fergie’s men look good at 6/1 to win 3-0 or even 16/1 to record a comprehensive 4-1 win. Meanwhile, an out-of-luck Palace side can be backed at 20/1 to shock United 1-0. Palace will no doubt look to draw inspiration from Coventry who, in 2007, were the last Championship side to knock United out of the competition.

Unsurprisingly the First Goalscorer odds are dominated by Man Utd players, with strikers Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney the joint favourites at 2/1. However, with Fergie likely to rest his top players, Dimitar Berbatov and Danny Welbeck could both be worth a punt at 5/2, while Ryan Giggs is priced at 7/1 to open the scoring. Exciting youngsters Paul Pogba and Ravel Morrison could be given the opportunity to shine and are both priced at 8/1 to score the first goal of the night. Palace have found goals hard to come by in recent weeks having failed to score in any of their last five games. Chris Martin, Wilfred Zaha, Sean Scannell, Glenn Murray all priced at 12/1 for the away side
