Just one of those, Ings

-

BOX clever for tonight’s BBC One action.

It was important that Manchester City beat Liverpool on Thursday.

Pep Guardiola’s season is scripted for a European finale that’s all about winning big games against big teams.

It’s less important that they beat Southampto­n (7pm). Expect some shuffling of Pep’s cards.

Still mostly aces and kings though, isn’t it?

In contrast, Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has been dealt a hand like a foot. But the Alpine Klopp does have one jack up his sleeve in red-hot Danny Ings.

Saints’ record against the Big Six – W2 D2 L6 in the Prem, scoring in eight – catches the eye because the big punting stat is all about getting action in both boxes.

In 32 PL games, City have conceded 13 penalties and got 10 – a table-topping total.

Punt ‘penalty awarded in the match’ at 5/2.

Ings (above) is fancied for Saints’ spot-kicks, a boost for a solid ‘anytime scorer’ call at 5/2 (Fred). Last week: Winner at 10/11
