Blackburn v Man Utd (16:15, 19/02/17, BT Sport 2):
Owen Coyle’s Blackburn team sit in the Championship relegation zone. Rovers dispatched of QPR and Blackpool to reach this stage and have improved of late at Ewood Park, winning 3 of their last 5. More generally however, Blackburn have won just 1 of their last 5 and 2 of their last 7. Blackburn have conceded the 3rd most league goals in the Championship. They possess a lot of experience in their squad via the likes of Danny Graham, Elliot Bennett and Charlie Mulgrew however may lack the overall quality to trouble a tough to beat United side.
United have lost just one of their last 23, the second-leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final against Hull. Mourinho’s side have won 4 of their last 5 in all competitions and comfortably beat by both Reading and Wigan to reach the 5th round. Mourinho has rotated his squad in the FA Cup this season but has still started the likes of Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial and Chris Smalling in both FA Cup ties thus far. A rotated United side will still possess attacking quality and should have enough to oversee a leaky Blackburn side who have kept just 3 clean sheets in their last 15. United -1 is 4/5 and seems a good value bet, they have won 5 of their 7 domestic cup games this season by a margin of 2 goals or greater. United have not conceded a goal in any of their last 5. Mourinho views all domestic cups as a serious opportunity for silverware, as is evident through United in the EFL Cup this season. It is for this reason that I expect a changed United side to still do the business comfortably. Utd -1 handicap is the bet in this one.
