Manchester United welcome managerless Reading to Old Trafford on Saturday, with the league leaders hoping to make it six league wins a row.

The hosts go in to the game on the back of their FA Cup quarter final draw with Chelsea, and are unbeaten in the league in sixteen matches, a run which stretches back to mid-November.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s men could welcome back Nemanja Vidic and Robin Van Persie, who both started on the bench last time out, though Phil Jones, Paul Scholes and Nani are all out.

Top scorer Van Persie is favourite to net first, with Bet Victor offering a price of 3.75 (11.4), while Wayne Rooney is a 4.33 (10/3) shot with the same firm.

William Hill offer 1.18 (2/11) for the home win, while Reading are as highly priced as the 21.0 (20/1) on offer from Bet Victor. The draw is 8.5 (15/2) with Bet 365.

The visitors parted company with Brian McDermott on Monday after a run four straight Premier League defeats left them four points from safety.

Their latest defeat came at the hands of fellow strugglers Aston Villa and caretaker manager Eamonn Dolan could hardly have been handed a tougher test to get his side back on track.

The Royals will be without injured trio Adam Federici, Jimmy Kebe and Jason Roberts, while Pavel Pogrebnyak completes a three match ban.

Top scorer Adam Le Fondre is widely available at 17.0 (16/1) to get the first goal of the game, while Hal Robson-Kanu is generously priced at 26.0 (25/1) with Bet Victor.

This is the third meeting between the sides in three and half months, with United winning the FA Cup fifth round tie having also come out on top in a remarkable league fixture at the Madjeski Stadium back in December.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s men edged a seven goal thriller, with the entire scoring taking place in the opening 34 minutes.
With the game set to be more on sided this time around, you may want to take advantage of the 5.0 (4/1) on offer from Sporting Bet for the Champions elect to hit the net on five or more occasions.
