What a great evening out for Yeovil fans this is going to be as they get to host one of the top clubs in the country in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Yeovil v Manchester United FA Cup Betting Tips
This is such a big occasion for the Glovers and exactly what makes the FA Cup so special. It won’t matter at the end of the day if a giant killing act happens or not for the Glovers, it has been a success in getting this far. They are struggling down near the relegation zone in League Two so the FA Cup has been light relief for them. They opened their FA Cup campaign with a win over Southend, before needing a replay to get past Port Vale in the second round. They then had a great time on home soil at Huish Park as they beat out Bradford in the last round so they eliminated higher-tiered opposition and now their chance to take down one of the biggest sides in the country is just the icing on the cake. They are probably going to be vulnerable at the back as they currently have the joint second-worst defensive record in this season’s League Two so are likely to concede.
But can they get a goal on the board themselves to bring a big cheer to Huish Park? The Glovers have a good scoring streak of six matches going on home soil in all competitions so that’s there for them. They have actually only failed to score in one of their last fifteen games on home soil. A bold both teams to score wager at bet365 comes in at 4/7 odds for the game. This won’t be the first time that Yeovil have met Manchester United. There is some prior FA Cup history between them having met three times before. The most recent coming together of Yeovil and Manchester United was in the 2014/15 FA Cup third round at Huish Park and the Red Devils collected a calm 2-0 victory on that occasion. United have won all three of the games between the two of them, all to nil as well.
Manchester United to win to nil at bet365 is at 8/11 odds* (Betting Odds taken on January 23rd, 2018 at 7:08 p.m.). These games can be a little tricky for big clubs, in such much as trying to themselves going is concerned. It usually just calls for doing a professional job and you would imagine that Jose Mourinho will make sure that happens. With the EFL Cup having gone out the window this season, the FA Cup is their last genuine shot at domestic silverware for the term. That means that they should be focused even if they don’t start with their strongest eleven possible. They have the quality and the depth to get through this and a Manchester United/Manchester United half time/full time option at bet365 is at 1/2* (Betting Odds taken on January 23rd, 2018 at 7:08 p.m.). The Red Devils are currently on a four match winning streak and are unbeaten in seven. They have taken a clean sheet in each of their last five games played as well including their win over Derby in the last round.
