Ruud van Nistelrooy steadied the ship at Manchester United earlier this season but now has the chance to blow another hole in Ruben Amorim's rebuild as he returns to the Theatre of Dreams as Leicester City boss.
The former United striker had four games as interim boss following Erik Ten Hag's departure and did a decent job, racking up three wins and a draw before handing reins to Amorim.
Two of those wins came against Leicester but van Nistelrooy is now in charge at the King Power and faces a daunting task saving them from the drop, with the Foxes sitting third bottom.
They've lost eight of their last nine in the Premier League so the Dutchman will be hoping a win in tonight's FA Cup tie can give his side a timely boost ahead of the league run-in.
Manchester United vs Leicester City top betting tips
The FA Cup and Europa League represent Amorim's only chance to salvage something from a challenging debut campaign so I'd imagine he will pick a pretty strong team.
Old Trafford has been the Theatre of Screams for Leicester this season, with eight goals conceded across their two visits so far this season, so it will be interesting to see if van Nistelrooy tries to park the bus.
If he does, the corner count could rack up so over 10.5 match flag kicks appeals at 11/10 with BoyleSports. Over 3.5 corners for United in the first half also appeals at 5/4.
Bilal El Khannous has caught the eye in a struggling Leicester side and the attacking midfielder looks overpriced at 4/1 just to have a shot on target tonight.
Ayr United vs Hibernian top betting tips
There's Scottish Cup action tonight as well and the tie between Ayr and Hibernian at Somerset Park promises to be a cracker.
Both sides are in fine form, with Hibs losing just one of their last 13 games and the Honest Men tasting defeat only once in their last 12.
Former Easter Road star Scott Brown is now in the Ayr dugout and it's not his style to set up to frustrate so this should be a decent watch.
Over 2.5 goals is priced just 4/5 at BoyleSports but if you add on BTTS it boosts the odds to 6/5.
This should be a tight one and the half-time draw also appeals at 23/20.
Ayr are 6/5 in BoyleSports' one goal ahead market and that bet – which pays out if your team goes ahead, win, lose or draw – looks good with Brown's in-form side having home advantage.
Bayern Munich vs Werder Bremen top betting tips
Bayern Munich are on track to snatch their Bundesliga crown back from Leverkusen and have the chance to move nine points clear tonight when they host Werder Bremen.
Vincent Kompany's side have lost just once in the league all season and have won their last six at home in all competitions, scoring at least three times in all those games.
That's why BoyleSports make them 1/11 hot favourites tonight but you can boot the odds to 6/4 by adding on BTTS. That bet appeals as Bayern have conceded in five of their last six at home.
With a Champions League clash against Celtic looming, Kompany could make a few changes and winger Leroy Sane, who started on the bench last time out, is 5/4 for anytime scorer.

Adelaide United 🇦🇺 (8.35am) 12+ corners
Greuther Furth 🇩🇪 (5.30pm) 3+ mgs
Mechelen 🇧🇪 (7.45pm) 3+ mgs
Treble pays just over 6/1 ,
Goodluck….
Looked through the fixtures and the standout is Porto v Sporting, when 2 of Portugals big 3 collide it usually guarantees cards
They’ve met 3 times this season without a red card but there was in 6 of the previous 7 meetings. Due one….
The referee Pinherio has yet to flash a red card this season but he did get the red out in 3 of his final 4 matches of last season. Again he’s due one 😬
No prices at Wullie Hills yet but I’ll stick the red card price up after I’ve been to the shovel & both to see red as a longshot
Aussie A League 10:45am
Perth Glory v Central Coast Mariners
BTTS & 2+ cards each 11/5
Adam Kersey is the referee & his red card record is astonishing, up there with the best 😆
The referee has dished out 4 reds in 8 A-League matches this season, going back further he’s produced 9 reds in 19 league matches in the last year or so going bsck to Jan 2024 . He has also got the red out in each of his last 2 Aussie Cup games
Adam Kersey is the referee
Red card in the match 7/2
,
Following this mate, gives me something to watch at work XD
Both sides sit in the top 4 for yellows received but yet to receive a red & hopefully todays referee can rectify that, however they do sit 1 & 2 on the reds against table with a total of 7 reds in their matches
Best of luck 👍🏻
Liverpool v Newcastle should be a cracking final.
F.A Cup
Birmingham v Newcastle
Newcastle to win -1 Asian Handicap at 1.775
Good price for Newcastle just win at 1/2 but I’d rather take them on the handicap with added insurance if they only win by 1 goal then it’s stake returned. Newcastle should cover though as they have no game next week so should go full strength.
Plymouth v Liverpool
Btts at 11/10
Liverpool will rotate for this game probably starting a similar team that played against PSV last week with the derby in mind next Weds.
Southampton v Burnley
Southampton to win at 8/11
Burnley are flying in the Championship but the problem they have is they don’t score enough goals, defensively they are sound but I don’t see them keeping Southampton out here.
Leyton Orient v Man City
Man City to win – 2.5 Asian Handicap at 1.920
City will be looking to bounce back after Arsenal’s statement win and should do so with ease.
Sunday
Aston Villa v Spurs
Spurs to win at 10/3
Spurs head to Villa after being trounced by Liverpool in the league cup but you can bet they will give it a good go here, the 10/3 on offer is big and worth a play.
Best of luck
I don’t fancy a couple of these Macca but your strike rate is that good I’m betting them all anyway 🤣

Ballymena United v Linfield
19:45
Northern Irish Premiership 🏴
Linfield win to nil 6-5.
Both at HILLS.
⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽
Vallecano conceded in 9/10 home league games this season and in 13/14 including last season end games
Valledolid conceded 2+ in last 11/12 away league games.
Put these together and it points towards a 2-1 home win
Linfield have beat Ballymena to nil in the last 13 head to heads which I hope is not unlucky 13
