Try ‘Real score a penalty’ at 4/1 (Bet365) when Real Madrid visit rock-bottom Huesca (3.15pm) JOSE THE 16/1 TELLY TREAT AT GOODISON

Saints start from scratch

-

BET that Watford rock Jose Holebas makes his presence felt at Everton, one way or another. Watford won the first five games of their season - and just two of their 12 games since.

They didn’t get a shot on target in their last away game, but they did get a red card, continuing a discipline trend – there’s been a red card in five of their 17 games so far.

Greece star Holebas (below) is no stranger to the ref’s book, but he’s also an ‘anytime’ sleeper – with goals in two of his 12 games this season, and yellows in six.

He’s 9/4 (Skybet) to get a card at Goodison (8pm, tomorrow), and 16/1 (Bet365) to score – value prices on those raw stats. Nibble both for 90 minutes telly interest. I THOUGHT I’d got the Alpine Klopp once, turned out it was a heat rash.

Before Mark Hughes got sacked, Southampto­n were 16/5 (Paddy) to be relegated. They went 3/1 with Sparky dumped, and 11/4 after Ralph Hasenhuttl (left) got the gig.

At each step, the market was rating them slightly MORE likely to go down. But after 12 bosses in 10 years, the St Mary’s chiefs just can’t help scratching that itch, can they?
