      by

      LIVERPOOL are on the back foot in the title race now after Wednesday’s disappointing Merseyside derby showing and now must win at West Ham.The Hammers are also chasing Europe and in desperate need of the points, so SunSport betting experts have previewed the contest – and carefully selected our best bets, tips and exclusive sign-up bonuses for the early Saturday kick off.Best free bets for West Ham vs Liverpool

      Already have these accounts? Don’t worry, we’ve got loads more terrific deals with our partners.West Ham vs Liverpool previewAfter being on for a quadruple in Jurgen Klopp’s final season, it now looks like their Carabao Cup win will be Liverpool’s only trophy this term.Klopp’s final Merseyside derby was a disaster in midweek, going down 2-0 an Everton side who simply wanted it more on the night.It leaves them three points off Arsenal and two behind City, with Pep Guardiola’s men also having played a game less.Only the die-hard will consider themselves still in a title race but it’s difficult to see them accumulating more points than their two rivals at the moment.But they do go to a Hammers side with only one win from their last eight games and coming off the back of a thumping defeat at Crystal Palace last time out.Their European ambitions for next season have taken a dent in that spell and – like Liverpool – their current European run also was ended.Liverpool have won this fixture the last five times they’ve played it and are warm favourites to continue that run.West Ham vs Liverpool oddsOdds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.West Ham vs Liverpool betting tipsFrom the frontLuis Diaz’s goal scoring numbers could and absolutely should be better than they are – certainly in recent weeks.He’ll get opportunities down that side this weekend. He’s had eight shots in his three games against West Ham.Much better price and value than Mo Salah and Darwin Nunez and hopefully capitalises.
      Our tip: Luis Diaz to score anytime at 13/5 – CLAIM HERE
      Card battleScrolling through the odds, I’d assumed Tomas Soucek was suspended as he wasn’t near the top of the odds.To be 13th in the list presents incredible value to punters.He has seven yellows in the Premier League alone this season but has been booked in his last two games (three in his last six games) and midfield battle will be hugely significant here.
      Our tip: Tomas Soucek to be carded at 13/5 with William Hill – CLAIM HERE
      Pen palsLiverpool sit fourth in the Premier League penalties scored this season.West Ham recently conceded a penalty to Wolves and Liverpool will likely spend time camped in their half.Speculative but happy to take the value.

      Roy Keane lays into Man Utd for ‘unforgivable’ act that ‘keeps you awake at night’

      by

      ROY KEANE has laid into Manchester United’s “unforgivable” performance against Coventry City, admitting it was the kind of game that “keeps you awake at night.”United almost suffered humiliation at Wembley last Sunday.Roy Keane has slammed Man Utd for their ‘unforgivable’ showing against Coventry CityThe Red Devils were almost humiliated after blowing a three-goal lead at WembleyCredit: RexThey led 3-0 in their FA Cup semi-final before Coventry battled back for 3-3.The Championship side then looked to have won at the end of extra-time as they netted for 4-3.And United’s players were left breathing a huge sigh of relief after the strike was controversially ruled out for offside by VAR.Erik ten Hag’s men then scraped through the penalty shootout after missing their first spot-kick.READ MORE ON MAN UTDAnd a monumental task awaits in the final as they take on rivals Man City — who won the same fixture in last year’s showpiece match.United just about recovered from their Coventry nightmare by beating Sheffield United 4-2 in a much-needed comeback win.But former captain Keane reckons his old side’s performance at Wembley is sure to continue hurting for the rest of the season.And had they gone on to lose the match, it would have been “unforgivable” on all fronts.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSHe told the Stick to Football podcast: “Would you ever recover from that? Seriously, as a player or a manager? “You’re Man United, playing a Championship side and you’re 3-0 up. You’d never forgive yourself.Roy Keane admits he was ‘absolutely disgraceful’ with his drinking habits during Man Utd career“There’s games we look back on now. We talk about bottle jobs and games we feel we should have won. “These are the games that keep you awake at night. To be 3-0 up, you could never forgive yourself.”Pal Gary Neville then said: “It would have been a public annihilation for four weeks.“The stadiums would have been pretty toxic. The criticism and scrutiny on the manager would have been horrific. It’ll still be big but I was relieved.”Pundits verdict on Ten Hag’s futureWhere do the pundits stand on Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United future
      Jamie Carragher – Sacked
      “I don’t see how Erik ten Hag stays. It’s just performance after performance.”
      Gary Neville – Stay if he wins the FA Cup
      “To sack a manager who’s won two trophies in his first two seasons at the club I think would be extreme.”
      Louis Saha – On the fence
      “I don’t see it as clearly but they need changes from the players but they need changes from him as well.”
      Alan Shearer – Sacked
      “I believe the future of the Man Utd manager is already determined. Even if they win the FA Cup I think he’s gone.”

      Keane added: “I think Ten Hag could have got into the players after the game, not target individuals but say: ‘That was unacceptable. This is Man United, we need to do better than that. If we’re 3-0 up, we need to see the game out’.”Reflecting on Ten Hag’s future, Keane ended: “The one thing I’d say about him is he’s come out with a bit of fight. I don’t mind it. The man’s entitled to his opinion – but I look at it and go, I hope your team is fighting the way you are right now. “It might be too little too late but it’s nice to see it. Your team didn’t show enough fight at the end when they were under the cosh.“Do I think he’s a good coach? Yes. Do I think he’s running good coaching sessions? I’m sure, of course he is. But the other day, when it goes 3-1, 3-2, I want to see a bit of madness.“I want to see a manager on the sidelines getting a grip of people. When people are making statements or going on Twitter, get a grip of the fellas – it’s unacceptable.READ MORE SUN STORIES“It’s not necessarily about throwing people under the bus. There’s more to being a coach. The great coaches and managers have personalities.

      Fans slam ‘this is so embarrassing’ as Man Utd cult hero has interim manager spell extended in bizarre situation

      by

      JOHN O’SHEA will remain the Republic of Ireland’s interim manager through June’s international friendlies.The former Manchester United star, 42, stepped in as his country’s temporary boss in February as they continued to hunt a successor to Stephen Kenny.John O’Shea is set to continue as interim bossCredit: SportsfileWith Kenny, 52, still to be replaced, O’Shea will remain in charge for upcoming friendlies against Hungary and Portugal.The ex-defender scored a creditable 0-0 draw with Belgium during the March international break, in addition to a 1-0 defeat to Switzerland.Nonetheless, many Irish fans feel that the process of finding a new permanent manager is taking far too long.One fumed on social media: “Honestly so embarrassing.

      WHEN Manchester United got lucky in their FA Cup semi-final, Antony’s first instinct was to goad heartbroken opponents Coventry. To rub their noses in the dirt.
      Antony seems to be a vile individual but this isn’t really about Antony. Because Antony is merely a symptom of the hideous sickness within England’s top flight.
      There is so much wrong.
      After our elite clubs persuaded the FA to completely scrap Cup replays — which gave us Ronnie Radford and Ricky Villa and Ryan Giggs — without due recompense or reasoning with the rest of English football.
      The previous day, after his Manchester City side had defeated Chelsea in the other FA Cup semi-final, Pep Guardiola whinged about the fixture scheduling of TV companies who effectively pay much of his £20m salary.
      Up at Wolves, Guardiola’s friend and rival Mikel Arteta was playing the same sad song about fixture congestion, despite his Arsenal side having played two fewer games this season than Coventry — who don’t have £50m squad players to rotate with.
      Chelsea, oh Chelsea. The one-time plaything of a Russian oligarch now owned by financially incontinent venture capitalists who have piddled £1billion on a squad of players who fight like weasels in a sack about who should bask in the personal glory of scoring the penalty that puts them 5-0 up against Everton.
