WOOD’S A BIG SHOUT TO BITE THE SAINTS

Sergio can get the drinks in

-

BURNLEY were in Turkey on Thursday night, with not a single shot on target in a 0-0 – a classic Lancastria­n deadpan twist on the expression ‘Europa adventure’.

The Clarets are still three games away from reaching the group stage, but who’s counting?

It will be a very different line-up at Southampto­n (1.30pm), though Sean Dyche should be sticking to the method, and throwing big Chris Wood at Saints’ slightly oompah-loompa sized defence.

Punt Wood (below) to score first at 7/1 and ‘anytime’ at 13/5 (Bet365), IF he starts.

He missed the Turkey game after an insect bit him, quite possibly a large moth. He stands 6ft3in in his socks and weighs over 200lbs, not the moth.

If he’s out, nibble 15/2 ‘no scorer’. NEW-LOOK Arsenal are assured of receiving the famous ‘expectant hush’ from the Emirates faithful when Manchester City visit (4pm).

Listen very carefully and you might also be able to make out the sound of cashed-in owner Alisher Usmanov twirling his trousers above his head and calling for the fine wines.

Back champagne Sergio Aguero (left) to’ score two or more’ at 6/1 (Sky) and ‘anytime’ at the general Evens.
