PREVIEW
A nice win on the BETDAQ MATCH bet on the horses yesterday. The selection, Masterpaver, actually won the race – you should get bonus points for that 😉

The Man U show/circus/pantomime, depending on your allegiance, rolls onto the Stadium Of Light for the first leg of their Carling Cup semi-final against Sunderland.

Whatever priority David Moyes gave this match before Sunday has probably been hastily prioritised as it really is now about damage limitation for the beleaguered boss and this looks the last realistic chance of silverware this season.

Just 72 hours after their shock FA Cup exit at Old Trafford – Man U get the chance to make some kind of amends here – and Moyes will take heart from the news that Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra, David De Gea, Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney are all set to return to the United squad.

There’s 20 points between these two in the Premier League and this would normally be considered a pretty routine encounter for Man U and our head to head records back that up. The BETDAQ market has them as 1.71 favourites but that’s not a price that grabs us.

Sunderland, propping up the Premier League, have shone in this tournament and fought back well to beat Chelsea in the quarter finals. They need to get something out of the game tonight and we are predicting a draw to take to Old Trafford.

RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
6 points DRAW at around 3.95 on BETDAQ

Monday: +7.10 points
JANUARY RETURN TO DATE: -9.60 points
