Man Utd – Norwich

United will start life after David Moyes at home against Norwich with Ryan Giggs acting as the interim manager. It`s a massive game for both sides, as each team is still hoping to get something out of this season.

The hosts could still catch that last Europa League spot but they pretty much need to win every game from now won, so at home against Norwich three points are mandatory. United did not play too good at Old Trafford this season but prior to last round’s 2-0 defeat at Everton they were in a good run of form, winning 2 consecutive Premier League games with an 8-1 aggregate score and playing a decent tie against Bayern Munchen in the Champions League.

Norwich City will come at Old Trafford knowing that relegation will become a big possibility if they don`t get any points here. After losing 3-2 to Liverpool last round at home, Norwich is now riding a 4 game losing streak and is just 2 points over the relegation zone. The visitors are the worst traveling team in the Premier League with 2 wins, 2 draws and 13 losses on the road (11-40 goal difference).

Team news & lineups

United will be happy to have an almost full squad available today. Van Persie and Rafael are the only injury worries for the hosts, while Norwich will have to do without Yobo and Bennett.

Manchester United: De Gea – Jones, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra – Carrick, Cleverley – Young, Rooney, Valencia – Welbeck.

Norwich City: Ruddy – Whittaker, Martin, Turner, Olsson – Snodgrass, Fer, Tettey, Gutiérrez – Hoolahan – Hooper.

Indeed United is not in the best spot right now with a new manager, a poor season and coming after a 2-0 loss, but even so I rate them as huge favorites at home against Norwich and their problems are actually providing us with some value in the odds. United might be better off with Giggs as he`s clearly respected by the squad and could bring a new found enthusiasm. Also, the Devils were very solid in the PL prior to the Everton loss, and now they will face an opponent who is miles away from Everton in any aspect you could think of. Norwich will come to fight but there`s only so much they can do with their quality and in their current form. They are known for losing big, especially on the road, and United proved they can score big-time lately, so a handicap win for the hosts seems like a very solid bet.

My tip is United to cover the -1,5 handicap and the odds are dropping on this one. Prediction: Manchester United – Norwich City 3-0.
