Manchester United to win: 2/5 at Paddy Power
Blackburn boss Steve Kean has been appreciative of Sir Alex Ferguson’s support through his troubled times this season, where Blackburn fans were turning against him. How ironic would it be if Kean went and upset Ferguson’s title plans with a victory over the Red Devils on Monday Blackburn do need the win of course, as they continue to fight against relegation, but at least they have found a little bit of form lately, giving themselves a strong chance of survival. Blackburn saw QPR, Bolton and Wigan all win, so there is just one point separating four teams who are looking to get away from the remaining two relegation spots, with Wolves looking dead in water at the foot of the table. Blackburn of course did pull off that totally unexpected and improbable win at Old Trafford earlier in the season by a 3-2 scoreline.
Rovers have won two of their last three games now in the league, but lost their last outing against Bolton. At Ewood Park, Rovers are unbeaten in their last three, winning two and picking up a draw against Aston Villa. However, this is Manchester United were are talking about and form against them can usually get thrown out of the win. Rovers have scored 1.46 goals on average at home this season, while they have conceded 1.8 per game. They are in the trouble they are in because they have won just five at home this season, and three of those wins have come in their last five home matches. So there has been some fight from them, and Kean has been benefiting from fielding a settled side because of a fit squad.
Tip: Wayne Rooney has scored four in his last five games against Blackburn and is 13/5 in the First Goalscorer Market
However, can decent home form against a relegation side stand up to the power of Manchester United? Rio Ferdinand could come back into the line up as he is fit again, but they are still missing Nani. United are just in formidable form, winning eight of their last nine matches. It has been an incredible, run and one worthy of taking the title. They have won their last three on the road and have scored ten goals in those three matches. Wayne Rooney has been in blistering form, netting seventeen goals in seventeen matches now for his club. They haven’t lost in their last ten league games now, and with a two point lead now over Manchester City at the top of the table, a win on Monday should really put the title firmly in their grasp.
United are just in incredible scoring mode at the moment, and they have goals in them, especially against weak defences. Manchester United’s defence has also been standing up, with three clean sheets in a row as well. Having racked up eleven wins from fifteen away matches in the Premier League this season, it is hard to see them losing. They are averaging 2.27 goals away from home this season and are conceding on average less than a goal per game. The masters of the Premier League have ramped things up again, with Ferguson using of all of their experience to guide them home. They are unlikely to throw points away in a match like this.
