But the Wanderers has also exerted effort to deliver a spirited fight. Back then, the team also made it hard in a way for Manchester United to win.

The game can be considered exciting, with the Red Devils not having Rooney, Ferdinand and Carrick and trying to stay at the top of the English Premier League standings and with the Wanderers still trying to prove its potential in the prestigious league. But the outcome of the game itself can be just considered not that interesting for some.

But of course, the odds are just like a guide. They don’t actually determine who exactly will be the top scorer or the winner of the golden boot.
