Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 9/10

Manchester United should win this and they are deservedly short priced favourites and I was tempted to back them on the (-1) Handicap at 17/20. The bet I prefer though is both sides to find the back of the net at 9/10. United have been scoring for fun, but Southampton have scored in their last 4 home matches and as Bournemouth showed when they got 2 at Old Trafford if Manchester United go well clear they may well step off the gas.

There are plenty of other markets including Correct Score and if I had to pick a correct score I would go Manchester United 3-1 which is priced at 25/2. You can also bet on who will be the first Goal Scorer, Martial is the 17/4 favourite and he is 23/20 to score at any time during the match.
