Southampton unlikely to belie woeful home record against Man Utd

Having won six of the last seven away matches against Southampton in all competitions, and drawing the other, Coral make Manchester United favourites at an enticing 29/20 price to triumph again in this Premier League Sunday clash.

In five of those battles, the two teams managed to find the net, so take even more enticing odds of 9/2 for the Red Devils to take all three points and both sides score once more.

However, if you fancy the hosts to follow up from their victory at Old Trafford last term, having not won the previous 11, then a price of 9/4 is available. A draw is 21/10, while 1-1, as was the scoreline in both fixtures in 2013/14 is 7/1.

Luckily for the hosts, United no longer have Robin van Persie, who was the scourge of the Saints in recent seasons, on their books. The Dutchman netted six of the Red Devils’ last nine goals against the south coast side, so the burden will lie on returning captain Wayne Rooney.

Thankfully for the visitors, the recent record England marksman has five strikes to his name against Southampton throughout his career, and bagged a brace against them three seasons ago.

Rooney is yet to net in the league this campaign, but did hit a hat-trick in the Champions League play-offs against Club Brugge and also against San Marino and Switzerland for the Three Lions in the Euro 2016 qualifiers. He is 6/4 to score anytime again, and 8/1 for two or more.

He could be joined up front at some stage in the match by new signing Anthony Martial, who made an immediate impact by grabbing a fabulous late goal against Liverpool last time out. The French teenager is a 7/4 shut in the anytime market and 6/1 to score last.
