Betting Insights
- Both teams are in such strong form that our recommendation here is to bet on goals in this one, rather than the outcome, with over 2.5 total goals at 1.44 and both teams to score at 1.4.

Prediction
Carrick has found a way to make United dangerous in the transition phases, which should lead to an exciting game that should be open from the start .
