Expect Rooney heroics on Man Utd return

Elsewhere on Betfair Football, we have presented a case for backing Newcastle to hold Manchester United to a draw at St James' Park this evening, however even if the Premier League leaders do drop points on Tyneside, they are fairly sure to score, having been shut out in just three of their 32 games.

Their most likely goalscorer on recent form has to be Wayne Rooney, who returns fresh from a two-game break caused by his suspension for swearing into a camera at West Ham earlier this month, especially as he can be backed at delicious odds of [2.18] to strike at any point.

Thanks to our special offer for those opening new Betfair accounts, you can bet up to £25 on this match and have your stake refunded if your punt proves unsuccessful.

The England forward has netted eight times in his last eight top-flight appearances, with five of those goals coming away from Old Trafford, but just as convincing a reason to bet on him tonight is provided by his stunning record against the Magpies.

He has fired nine times in 12 outings against them for the Red Devils and the majority of those goals have come at St James' Park, where he has scored six in six since moving to Manchester United in 2004.

Newcastle's most probable hero is considered to Shola Ameobi despite the uncertainty over whether he will be fit enough to start, having struck in their home victory over Wolves. He is [4.2] to score at any time, followed by Peter Lovenkrands at [5.0].
