FA Cup Replay Betting Tips

Arsenal take on Swansea City at the Emirates while Manchester United host West Ham at Old Trafford in two FA Cup third round replays this evening.

Arsenal are the odds on favourites to beat Swansea city this evening at a best price of 4/7 with Bet365. The two sides couldn’t be separated over the first match at the Liberty Stadium and Swansea are 6/1 with Boylesports to repeat their victory at Arsenal earlier in the season.

West Ham face the daunting prospect of a trip to Old Trafford. Manchester United are 1/3 to win with Betfred after a last minute Robin Van Persie goal in the first game forced this replay. West Ham are priced long at 10/1 with Bet365 but United have leaked a lot of goals at home this season.

Arsenal v Swansea City Betting

Olivier Giroud could start in this game and the big French striker is 9/2 with Bet365 to score the first goal. The Frenchman has played well since arriving from Montpellier in the summer and he should be fresh as he did not start in Arsenal’s defeat to Manchester City over the weekend.

Squad rotation means that Danny Graham is in line for a rare start in this game unless Michael Laudrup takes a gamble and starts Michu from the off. Graham has been picking up goals for Swansea in recent weeks and he deserves a chance. Bet365 again offers the best price on him scoring first at 9/1.

Swansea have a habit of digging in, absorbing pressure and countering with some impressive passing play. Expect them to get a goal at some point in the match but Arsenal should have enough ammunition and support to get over the line. A 2-1 Arsenal win is 7/1 with Bet365, Boylesports and Betfred.

Manchester United v West Ham United Betting

Manchester United will be on a high because they really shouldn’t still be in the competition. Wayne Rooney is expected to start in this match following a short spell out of the side with injury and he is odds on at 4/6 with Bet365 to score at any point during the match.

If you’d prefer to back a West Ham player to score then Kevin Nolan is available at 7/2 with Boylesports to score at any point in the match. Bear in mind that Nolan is one of the attacking midfield players who always pops up in advanced positions around the pitch for West Ham.

The home side should be fine in terms of securing a victory with Boylesports offering 11/4 that Manchester United will win by two goals and 15/4 that the winning margin will be three goals. Either way, Sir Alex Ferguson’s men will be looking for a route into the next round.
