FA Cup Tips: Fab Four break-up gives Toffees hope

IT looked a dream draw when Liverpool were paired with Everton but tonight's FA Cup tie could be a damp squib.

Both sets of fans will be up for it as usual but it's a game the managers would prefer to do without.

The Cup's lost its magic and even on derby day the Mersey rivals would prefer to concentrate on the league.

Liverpool will be without two of their Fab Four with Mo Salah and Philippe Coutinho injured and that makes them uneasy favourites at a best 4-9 with William Hill. But they are unbeaten in 15 against their Goodison rivals in all competitions.

Less than a month it was 1-1 at Anfield and another tight game is on the cards even if Toffees boss Sam Allardyce decides to rotate.

Everton are 8-1 at Marathonbet with a draw no one wants paying 4-1 at Betway. A 1-1 repeat is 9-1 at betfair.

Roberto Firmino will play a central role and is worth a look at 5-1 with Unibet to net first.

Both teams have scored in three of the last four meetings at Anfield and it's worth a look at 11-10 with Unibet.

Tonight's other tie sees Man United tackle Derby and you'd hope Jose Mourinho names a strong team with this being his only chance of domestic silverware.

The Red Devils though are short at 2-7 with Betway to win with the Championship side 15-1 at bet365 to cause a shock.

Derby lie second in the Championship and are undefeated in nine away matches and it's likely boss Gary Rowett will make changes that should play into Mourinho's hands. If he doesn't both to score would have a chances at 20-13 with 188Bet.

Back United -1 at 5-6 with betfair and if he starts after recovering from injury back Romelu Lukaku to score first at 12-5 with bet365.

Recommended Bets

• Firmino to score first
• Man Utd -1
