Man Utd to oust Everton, Palace and Watford to go distance in FA Cup semis

The only absentees are Germany captain Bastian Schweinsteiger and starlets Luke Shaw and Adnan Januzaj.

Can Rashford bag another important goal?

Dutch boss Van Gaal could stick to his front three of Marcus Rashford, Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial, after the trio highly impressed in their first start together last time out in the 2-0 win over other semi-finalists Crystal Palace.

Teenager Rashford has been a revelation for the Red Devils since bursting onto the scene after getting his chance due to a number of injuries, and is 7/4 to add to his seven senior goals to date from just 13 games.

Captain Rooney and young-gun Martial are respective 7/4 and 2/1 chances, while the likes of Memphis Depay (2/1), Jesse Lingard (10/3) and Ander Herrera (11/2) are decent shouts to hit the target too.

At least Romelu Lukaku will be available for Everton, and the Belgian may be inspired to impress in front of his rumoured summer suitors by scoring anytime at 5/4.

Extra-time or penalties on the cards in Sunday semi

In the second FA Cup semi, Crystal Palace and Watford have the potential to go the distance, and both have defied Premier League form to reach the later stages of this famous competition. Back a draw in normal time at 9/4, therefore.

The Eagles have been made the slight 8/11 favourites to qualify, and can find inspiration from the last time they faced the Hornets at Wembley in the 2012/13 Championship play-offs when Kevin Phillips converted a late winner in the 105th minute from the spot.

Alan Pardew’s men are 9/1 for victory in extra-time once more, which the manager has experience doing as he hit the winner for the Londoners at this stage in 1990 over Liverpool.

But Watford can take heart from the fact that they knocked out defending champions Arsenal in the quarters, and have a superior record over Palace in the FA Cup. They are 11/10 chances to reach the final.

Deeney looking to be the hero once more

Both teams have tasted victory against the other this season, each away, and the Hertfordshire outfit won the most recent clash in February at Selhurst Park thanks to a Troy Deeney double.

The uncapped English striker is 7/4 to net again anytime, and 9/1 for two or more. Deeney scored last in that meeting too, so is 6/1 to be the hero and do so again in normal time. Attack partner Odion Ighalo is the same price in all markets too.

For Palace, Emmanuel Adebayor will be hoping to add to his strike against Watford last time out, and is 2/1 in the anytime market, while fellow forwards Connor Wickham, Yannick Bolasie and Wilfried Zaha are 2/1, 11/4 and 7/2 respectively.

Yohan Cabaye is also a tempting 7/2 to find the net, after scoring from the spot in a 1-0 win at Vicarage Road earlier this term in the league and also against Reading in the FA Cup quarters.
