The price is tight enough at 8/5 with Sky Bet for an away win so getting a bit braver and banking on Leeds to win by two or more goals at 5/1 is worth a small interest. Yet, there is enough of an argument here to take on the Toon at 8/13 for the win with Sky Bet, and invest in West Ham to avoid defeat at 5/4. If you look at the last 13 occasions when a non-big six side have made a cup final, only two of those teams managed to win their next league match (W2, D4, L7) and the team in question only scored 12 goals in those 13 encounters. It's a run of results that is a tad misleading as when assessing the performance data they deserved more from defeats at Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Leicester and Tottenham. A win over Bournemouth and Michael Olise's last-minute wonder goal in the 1-1 draw with United have kept the focus off Patrick Vieira for the time being but it's hard to make a case for them at Old Trafford. Newcastle aren't usually a team to bet against as Eddie Howe has built a magnificently resolute and together group that have quality in key areas of the pitch. That can be seen through his fouls committed data in the last two fixtures: he made two vs Chelsea and four at Brighton in the FA Cup. This more direct approach of getting the ball into dangerous positions quicker does tend to get the crowd involved and when Goodison Park is on song, it's a tough place for the opposition to play. There is now a clear philosophy and method to the way Villa are structured with and without the ball - they are difficult to create big chances against and play with great intensity when tasked with breaking forward. Fulham are vulnerable through the centre of their defence and Havertz somehow failed to score from a 0.40 worth of an expected goals tally in the 2-1 defeat at Craven Cottage. That balance stems from the midfield duo of Douglas Luiz and Boubacar Kamara, who can do it all - from stellar defensive work to bursting through midfield to start counter attacks. The 5/1 on him scoring first and 11/1 to score twice are punts to keep in mind.
