Earlier today, Manchester United struggled for the eighth consecutive game and once again failed to match the standards set by their former manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. They scraped past Stoke City with a slim 3-2 win but they twice trailed in that home game and needed two late goals to take all three points.
It’s clear that under David Moyes and in their current predicament, there won’t be any easy games for them. Each and every outing no matter how insignificant or small the opposition is, could be a potential banana skin for these ailing giants of the English game. It’s exactly why they would have to be at their very best when Norwich City pay them a visit this Tuesday for their League Cup tie.
This would be the third time in four games that Norwich is to face a top four side. There previous two meetings with Chelsea and Arsenal ended in heavy defeats. They had the chance to repair some of the damage when they faced Cardiff City at home today, but they could only manage a draw.
One positive point for them in this upcoming fixture is that the Red Devils are unlikely to risk too many of their first team regulars due to the competition’s unimportance. Expect several youngsters and fringe players to feature.
Despite the two heavy defeats to the Blues and the Gunners, the Canaries did look decent for at least some short periods in those games. They aren’t as bad as those 3-1 and 4-1 defeats’ scorelines suggest. Against an unconfident and weakened United side, they have some chance of keeping it close if not cause an upset altogether. The recommended bet here is to back Norwich City +1.5 goals with Bet365 at odds of 1.80.
