Jose might at last try to rev up the bus

UNITED AND HUDDERSFIE­LD JUST THE TICKET

-

IT’S not often that Manchester United and Huddersfie­ld are mentioned in the same sentence.

But looking at the Prem fixtures, these two jump out as value bets.

United, of course, are at Anfield for the lunch crunch against their arch-rivals Liverpool.

Kenny Dalglish, no less, is convinced that Jose will do his usual trick in big matches and park the bus.

But we’re not so sure. Granted, Mourinho usually plays safety-first against his main managerial rivals so they can never have the bragging rights over him.

He did exactly that last year in a 0-0 draw at Anfield that ranked as one of the worst games of the season.

But just like in his pomp at Chelsea, he now has a swaggering side that he has built and not one he merely inherited.

The way United destroyed CSKA Moscow on a tough road trip in Europe showed us that Mourinho is happy to drive the bus.

United are 9/5 with Bet365. That’s just the ticket.

As for Huddersfie­ld, they go to a Swansea side totally devoid of confidence. One goal in their last four games says that.

In a game of evenlymatc­hed sides, the Terriers are worth backing at a whopping 14/5 (Hills).
