IT'S all about Wayne Rooney vs Man United as the final FA Cup last-eight place is decided on Thursday night.
Rooney will be hoping his Derby side give a good account of themselves and it's bound to be a special night for the Old Trafford legend.
The Rams beat United at Old Trafford last season but were on a poor run until winning at Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to field a strong side – United reach the last four of the EFL Cup and this is possibly his best chance of winning silverware with Liverpool out. The winners are away to Norwich.
Derby games have been high scoring recently with the previous seven seeing both score while United are doing better with new signing Bruno Fernandes showing his class and contributing goals. Man United and both to score could be the call at 11-5 at bet365.
Rooney is 3-1 at Paddy Power to net at any time and 10-1 to break the deadlock. SlipsTips has posted a Derby vs Man United match preview.
Elsewhere there are cup ties in Spain, Italy, France and Holland. The semi-final second leg between Napoli and Inter has been called off.
It's Granada vs Athletic Bilbao in Spain, St Etienne vs Rennes in France and Feyenoord vs Breda and I'll have a closer look at all the games before putting up tips in the morning.
Not much to look at overall but I'm taking Man United and adding Rennes draw no bet at St Etienne in the French Cup semi-final.
Rennes won the League Cup last season and are eyeing up another final against a side that's in poor form with five defeats in six. I think Rennes will win but on the h2hs the last six meetings at St Etienne have been draws so I'm keeping the draw on side.
Complete the treble with Athletic Bilbao not to lose their Spanish Cup second-leg tie at Granada after winning 1-0 at home. The winners face Real Sociedad in the Final and an all-basque derby is a massive carrot for Bilbao.
There's little between the teams with Granada one place and three points above their visitors in La Liga so a draw on the night looks the likely result.
Well done to all the Wednesday winners including Greg, SlipsTips, HullShaker and Scott with his members bet.
My two trebles were losers despite backing against Celtic – I didn't see Rangers losing at home to Hamilton although I couldn't have backed the Ibrox men at around 1-9.

Rangers spoilt all my games… And i regrete ever recognising them as a football team to bet on. They ‘re are a bunch of disappointment. This is making it the second time they re wreching me. And i promise never to see them again this season. They re ‘bad luck’ people
Rangers are a nightmare. I’ve been undone by them recently. However the one time I actually needed them to lose (braga) they pulled out all the stops to win.
It’ll be interesting to see what Rangers can do in the summer, there’s a possible FFP investigation aswell apparently so I hear they’ve been trying to balance the books.
@andyhibs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hi Paul, I read you reply to my 365 annoyance, but I seriously cannot see what they are trying to achieve, I have asked them twice and judging by the queue to get through to live chat, I presume a lot of others have.
They have just reiterated that it a business decision. It’s so bloody annoying now, surely more than 2 people have also noticed.
I agree with you Clydeman, it’s messy to use now.
Can you do me a favour and email your concerns to me at mrfixit@dailyrecord.co.uk.
I will then see if I can get a response from them about the changes.
I have seen a few posts about bet365 . What have I missed ?
Thursday tips
All focus is on one game for me today the match between Salzburg and LASK. Regulars will know I’ve been following LASK for about 18monthd now and the just keep getting better and better whilst Salzburg are paying the price just now for continually selling their best players. Another 2 high profile transfers in January left money people wondering if they could still maintain their amazing goal threat- it doesn’t look to have affected them too much in that regard as they are still scoring plenty (although not as many as before) but it’s at the back where they have nosedived. They have conceded 13 goals in their last 5 games including 3 at home to tonight’s opponents who have overtaken them as the best side in Austria and now hold a 6 pt lead at the top. However the bookies still make Salzburg the favourites here and I’m going to try and use that to my advantage and back against them. I’ve actually watched 3 and 1/2 of the 5 games mentioned and Salzburg have been absolutely shambolic in defence so it’s LASK for me. I posted these earlier in the week so some prices have dropped, but I found better prices for the other 2 so I’ve cashed out and re placed them and if anyone went in early I’d advise the same. Gl if you follow.

@sean567…any thoughts on the QSL games today mate?…
Hi Pete, umm salal should take care of al shahaniya probably with both scoring. Can’t call the other one but al wahkra have failed to net in their last 5 away games and have lost their last 3 matches overall and have hit a bit of a dip after a decent start for a newly promoted team.
If I was betting I’d be either on umm salal win btts as a single, or umm salal o1.5tgs/al wakra u1.5tgs as a double.
Cheers mate…looks like a couple of good matches coming in Sat, with the top three playing 👍👍
Al duhail win on Saturday and they will have one hand on the trophy mate. Al Sadd will probably batter them in week 20 but they have been hot and cold and dropped too many points this season and they way things are going theres a good chance they will drop more this week. 1 thing is for sure tho, both them and Al Rayyan will be going all out for the win so I think there will be a lot of goals in that game. Al Sadd lose they are definitely out the title race, Al Rayyan know anything less than a win doesn’t help them trying to close the gap to Al Duhail so it should be entertaining. ill have my Bein sports ready at 4 o clock on sat for that one
Yeah, me too mate. Is your QSL app working yet. Cant get previews when I click on it…

Looks like De Bruyne is out for the manc derby
Yeah saw that, wonder if that will affect the odds. Big plus for United for sure.
He’ll be fit
I would imagine so alex,can’t see your lot losing
Not what’s being reported gaz1105
I think City would rather have him for the champions league tie rather than risk him in a derby
Just on your final point there then macca do you think Liverpool will be playing a weakened team v bournemouth? Be crazy to play any of the front 3, gomez van dijk Robertson or allisson imo.
I think Klopp will go full strength v Bournemouth after the last couple of games and we need the points.
Stop it – you could lose 6 games and still win the title.
Liverpool have looked tired in recent weeks so maybe he should try to freshen things up a bit.
Klopp will want to go into Wednesday on the back of a good win,it’s a dinnertime kick off on Saturday so that leaves 4 days of rest.
Morning folks,

Cristian offering low stakes interest @ 5/1 to upset Kenin from a break down. Broken in the first game but it’s been a 50/50 since. She’s playing well and Kenin isn’t looking rock solid. Has missed a few break back chances. Arguably the better player aside from that opening game. May well lose the set but if she keeps her head she’s definitely in this.
First set to Cristian 7-6! Fingers crossed the momentum stays the way it’s going.
A set and a break up. Cover an option
Well done. Anything else you like for tonight?
WOW, Kenin comes back from 3-5 and Match Point down.
Cristian traded at 1.01.
Oof! When it comes to winning wta bets, cover cover cover!
Not sure about tonight. Konta might still be in vulnerable mode but I have no idea where Maria’s game is at and if she’ll be able to hang with Kontas power on this surface. Likewise Svitolina could still be vulnerable, but I haven’t seen Gvortsova in ages. She at least has the form, and ive doubled her up with Cristian to cover the handicap.
Hamilton . RossCounty double in the SPL this weekend is 40/1
Get on quick as the odds are sure to tumble .
Granada × Bilbao (-2.5)

Bet for the darts tonight, Gerwyn price most 180’s v Glen Durant EVENS on skybet 👍🏻
Have goals accum final leg is Salzburg v LASK Austria cup, over 2.5gls for return £472.85. Cash out offered just now of £262.13 scratching my head but looks like a decent chance any thoughts £25 original stake .
Depends on what £262 means to you.
Doesn’t look a good cash out offer to me and would imagine that a first half goal would mean you still get a similar option at half time.
An early goal would provide a good offer I imagine and I would be tempted to take an offer of 80% of the total win if offered that
Best of Luck whatever you do
As has been said it depends on your personal circumstances.
As you can see above I’m on that game for goals. While you can never be certain before a match it wouldn’t surprise me to see your bet land by about the hour mark, possibly even ht. I’d be majorly surprised if this game saw unders. Both sides are at almost full strength and will be going for it. The winner of this game lifts the trophy. (Despite still having the final to play)
Alternatively stick 25 on unders and sit back and watch the goals hopefully fly in knowing your a winner regardless. You’ll get odds against for unders from every bookie going.
Team to score double.

I’m on the same macca.
Added him and Rooney to score outside the box at 80/1 as well with skybet
Knew they would take him off second half but it’s worth the risk at those odds,worth backing him every game as long as the odds are around 10/1 or higher.

Cheers Paul just seen your response I will email you about the issue, would love to know why they have done it!!
I’ve had a look and it seems likely it’s to save money but nothing to do with betting – more to do with the technical side.
However, someone earlier commented they’d changed it back.

Not sure how true this Harry Kane transfer request to United is, but certainly nice to hear
lol i doubt that one,United can’t assure Champions league football and i doubt Spurs would sell him to a rival.
I know, one can dream though lol Daniel ‘Montgomery Burns’ Levy would want £160M+ for him
