ZLAT HAS TO GO IT ALONE
Top heavy United a mistake Sinclair’s Old Firm form a worry for Murty
PEARSON’S
MAN UNITED host Southampton tonight on the back of two entertaining but unlikely 2-2 draws.
at Selhurst Park tomorrow lunchtime.
Worryingly for Eagles fans, City have won their last two meetings 5-0.
I think Palace will try to attack City more than Newcastle did in midweek but make no mistake, it is hard to attack if you don’t have the football.
City are 1-4, the Eagles 12-1 and the draw 11-2.
City have kept a clean sheet in seven of their last nine games against Palace, although the Eagles have scored twice in each of their last six home league games.
The hosts may find the back of the net again – but not as many times as this wonderful City team will manage.
The recommendation is for City to win and both teams to score at 29-20.
The transfer window opens on Monday and we’ll have everything covered. If you fancy a market, do get in touch via @BetVictor on Twitter and we will endeavour to #PriceItUp.
Danny Ings looks sure to be in demand next month and the Liverpool striker is 2-1 to join Newcastle, 4s Stoke, 8s Southampton and West Ham.
Steven N’Zonzi is 1-2 to join Everton and 3-1 Arsenal; Luke Shaw is 2-1 to sign for Spurs; Theo Walcott is evens to return to Southampton and Jonny Evans is 4-6 to join City.
Happy New Year from all at BetVictor.
Having had such a good defensive record in the first third of the season, United are suddenly shipping goals.
However that’s nothing to the Saints, who let in five at Wembley against a rampant Harry Kane and Co on Boxing Day.
United won the reverse fixture at St Mary’s in September courtesy of a Romelu Lukaku goal but the big Belgian might miss out here.
Boss Jose Mourinho shoehorned both him and Zlatan Go to BetVictor.com Ibrahimovic into the starting XI against Burnley on Boxing Day but is unlikely to make that mistake again.
And Lukaku must surely be ready for a rest having been an almost ever-present this season. United are 4-11 to take the three points with BetVictor, the Saints are 9-1 and the draw is 21-5.
The Saints will trouser £75million from Liverpool for defender Virgil van Dijk and they will need to spend, given they have won just one of their last 11 league games and have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of those matches.
Pep Guardiola’s Man City will equal the 19 successive league wins the Spaniard achieved while at Bayern Munich should they see off Crystal Palace
