Manchester United vs Charlton Athletic Prediction and Betting Tips

Manchester United are set to play Charlton Athletic on Tuesday in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup.

Manchester United come into this game on the back of a 3-1 win over Frank Lampard's Everton in the third round of the FA Cup. Goals from Brazilian winger Antony and attacker Marcus Rashford, as well as an own goal from centre-back Conor Coady, sealed the deal for Erik ten Hag's Manchester United. Coady scored the goal for Everton.

Charlton Athletic, on the other hand, beat Mark Kennedy's Lincoln City 2-1 in the league. First-half goals from Scottish midfielder Scott Fraser and forward Corey Blackett-Taylor secured the win for Dean Holden's Charlton Athletic.

Manchester United vs Charlton Athletic Prediction

Manchester United come into this game on the back of some really positive performances and results. There seems to be cohesion among players as well as motivation, two factors that were completely missing during the abject performances of last season.

Midfielder Casemiro has bought some much-needed pedigree to the club, and many already regard him as the club's best signing post the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson. It is unlikely that Erik ten Hag will field his best XI, especially as the next game after this is against Manchester City in the league. Expect minutes for the likes of Alejandro Garnacho, Fred, Victor Lindelof and probably even Tom Heaton.

Charlton Athletic, on the other hand, are 12th in the league and have won only two of their last five league games. Young attacker Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, on loan from Crystal Palace, has produced some good performances, and so has former Dundee United midfielder Scott Fraser.

Manchester United will be the favorites to win here, both on the basis of form and overall quality. However, they have been known to capitulate in such circumstances in the last 10 years, and Charlton Athletic could cause problems.
