Hot ’Nacho looks tasty
KELECHI IHEANACHO can rise to the occasion when Leicester meet Southampton in the FA Cup semi-final.
It was the Foxes who really put Ralph Hasenhuttl on the map by beating his Saints 9-0. A once-in-a-career humiliation that’s happened twice.
Southampton remain hard to forecast under his leadership. Leicester have more quality today (6.30pm), but how much – and what about the ‘Wembley factor’?
There will be 4,000 fans inside the national stadium for this one.
Small for an FA Cup semi-final, but on the other hand it’s quiet, you can sit where you like and everyone gets a toilet each. I’m thinking of moving in.
Liverpool failed to conjure up a miracle in midweek and we’ll never know if an empty Anfield was decisive. The Reds’ 12th man was missing. Numbers nine through 11 have had better days too.
Jamie Vardy is also firing blanks. Iheanacho (above) has stepped up, his air-power is a good fit today, and he’s been the ‘anytime scorer’ equal of Harry Kane over each man’s last 11 matches.
Punt Iheanacho ‘anytime’ at 6/4 and ‘scores two or more’ at 8/1 (both BetVic, Skybet) – don’t forget these bets are for 90 minutes only.
