Chicharito catches the eye at 4/1

Reading lock horns with Manchester United in the FA Cup and if manager Brian McDermott went to bed looking at their record, he may well have woken up in a cold sweat.

United have won 10 and lost just one of the 18 previous matches against Reading, and are just three short of clocking up 500 FA Cup goals. Back them to reach the landmark en route to victory.

You’re not going to get rich backing United for the win, it’s 1/4 with bet365, but you could do worse than backing Javier Hernandez to open the scoring. The Mexican could well start and the 4/1 is a good price for the man with an eye for goal to net first.
