Betting suggestion:

Preview
Manchester United and Derby County face at Old Trafford, in a match for this stage of the FA Cup (3rd Round). The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 29‑01‑2016, and ended in a (1‑3) win by Manchester United.

Analysis Man Utd

The home team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of using the home advantage to get a positive result. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got an away win against Everton by (0‑2). In the last 10 home matches Manchester United has won 7, tied 2 and lost 1. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 2.

Manchester United comes motivated for this match after a 0-2 win at Everton's ground: Martial and Lingard scored their goals. The home team usually works in a tactical system in 4-3-3, privileging the quick transitions, mainly through the flanks. One of the strengths of the home team is the way they manage to end the danger situations they create. The coach of Manchester United won’t count on Ibrahimovic, Lukaku, Fellaini, Carrick, Valencia and Bailly for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Sergio Romero, Victor Lindelöf, Luke Shaw, Chris Smalling, Daley Blind, Paul Pogba, Juan Mata, Ander Herrera, Jesse Lingard, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Marcus Rashford.
Coach: E. ten Hag.

Analysis Derby

The team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive away result. In their last match, for the Championship, they got a home tie against Sheffield United by (1‑1). In the last 10 away matches Derby County has won 5, tied 4 and lost 1. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 3 of the last 10 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 16 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Derby comes for this match after a 1-1 home draw against Sheffield United. Like the "enemy" of this performance, the visiting team chooses to perform in a traditional 4-3-3, where the three forward players are Weimann, Nugent and Russell. By playing away, it’s foreseeable that Derby will take a more defensive posture, in order not to get out of balance. The coach Gary Rowett should have all the players at his disposal.

Confirmed Lineup: Scott Carson, Andre Wisdom, Marcus Olsson, Richard Keogh, Alex Pearce, Tom Huddlestone, George Thorne, Tom Lawrence, Andreas Weimann, Sam Winnall, Johnny Russell.
Coach: W. Rooney.
