Chelsea v Man United Tip
The man known as 'Little Pea' should be the primary beneficiary of squad rotation tonight.
Sandwiched between two crucial Premier League clashes with Chelsea and Arsenal, Manchester United return to Stamford Bridge in the league cup tonight with Sir Alex Ferguson sure to ring the changes.
The easiest decision he appears to have to make is up front; if he wants to save Rooney and Van Persie for the Gunners then he has the perfect understudy - Javier Hernandez. The Mexican scored the winner off the bench on Sunday to add to his Champions League brace against Braga last week.
Chicharito is not only bang on form, he loves playing against Chelsea specifically having scored five in eight games against the Blues. The 24-year-old has now found the net on his last two trips to the Bridge after firing in the equaliser in last season’s thrilling 3-3 draw.
Hernandez should start, but we can hedge our bets anyway as he is such a prolific marksman even as a substitute. At best odds of 5/2 (Skybet) in the anytime goalscorer market he must be value.
