Coventry v Man United Preview

Coventry’s Form

Coventry are no strangers to Wembley, missing out on promotion last season in the playoff final where following a 1-1 draw they agonisingly were beaten 5-6 on penalties against Luton Town. This year they have had another positive year but their 3 defeats and 2 wins from their last 5 league games which make qualification for the playoffs this season unlikely but not outside the realms of possibility.

Man United’s Form

It’s been another chaotic year at Man United and with the incoming INEOS part owners wanting to stamp their authority on the club, Hag’s role at United is under considerable pressure due to their disjointed performances throughout the season.

With Champions League qualification borderline gone, success in the FA Cup may be ten Hag’s sole chance of remaining in the job for next season.

Key Players To Watch

Ben Sheaf – Coventry

The star performer for Coventry this season has been Arsenal academy product midfielder Ben Sheaf (26).  An all-action midfielder who boasts brilliant defensive numbers 3.9 tackles per 90 (98th percentile), 1.52 interceptions (86th percentile) and 1.63 blocks (84th percentile).

Sheaf is also an attacking threat with 7.83 progressive passes per 90 (94th percentile), 1.36 successful take-ons (94th percentile) and 62.52 passes attempted (88th percentile). With him facing a United side who are notoriously chaotic in midfield.

Kobbie Mainoo – Man United

The newest wonderkid to come out of Carrington? Kobee Mainoo (18) already looks like the midfielder the club has been searching to find for decades now, anyone who watches Mainoo play can see that he demonstrates calmness and composure far beyond his years and when unavailable United look lost without him.

Control of the midfield will be paramount on Sunday to try and avoid another basketball game and after disappointing against Bournemouth, he will want to bounce back with a performance.

Coventry v Man United Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Coventry 0-2 Man United

Coventry have a huge opportunity to be giant killers in the FA Cup again and will fancy themselves against a United side who give up an awful lot of chances. This is a free-hit and I wouldn’t put a shock win outside the realms of possibility.

This is do-or-die stuff for ten Hag who probably needs success in the FA Cup to save his job. Following speculation about his performance and players’ attitudes during the week it’ll be interesting to see how he approaches squad selection Sunday.

United do enough, but they have the ability to make it difficult for themselves.

Best Bet: Man United Win + Under 2.5 Goals
