FA Cup fifth round weekend and the later kick-off on Saturday sees Manchester United hosting Reading.

Although this is a tie between two Premiership sides, there is still a David and Goliath feel about the game.

But we should be careful. Steve Coppell’s men have arguably been the surprise package in the Premiership this season, neat and tidy with touches of class at just the right time.

Their recent form - seven wins and a draw this year - has been that of champions far less of a side just happy to stay in the league and scrapping for survival.

And with hit-man Leroy Lita, the form striker in England at the moment with nine goals in his last 10 games, there is always the threat as he showed by scoring the last time the two teams met at Old Trafford.

However, in United, who ran out 3-2 winners that day Lita scored, Reading are coming up against a team who are surely the champions-elect.

Despite Wayne Rooney being banned, we think  the Red Devils will again just have a little too much for the visitors.

Betterbet.com’s 12/1 for Henrik Larsson to score the first goal and United to win 2-0 seems about right for us.
