The punters look to be backing Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud as the most likely players to open the scoring in this match and you’ll find them at 10/3 and 7/2 respectively. Have a look at Santi Cazorla, who has looked in good form in the last few fixtures, to be competitive at an 8/1 price.

Don’t expect a bagful of goals here for the winner - it will be either a 1-1 or a 2-1 result and backing Cazorla to score any time at 12/5 if you’re willing to take a lower margin there.
Manchester United were able to get the better of Southampton the last time they played - effectively derailing the promising run that the south coasters had been enjoying over the past couple of weeks. Expect them to be coming back into this fixture looking for revenge and you would expect United to be in serious contention of losing a match as they’ve gone so long without being able to at least eek out a draw.
The bookmakers have floated Manchester United at a 17/20 price and that’s probably enticing enough to have a good portion of the days action being on the Red Devils to grab the outright victory - though you can expect this to be significantly shorter as we get closer to the match kicking off. The final hour or so of trading will be very telling about how this one is likely to shape up and you would be forgiven for waiting until the last minute - or even waiting to make an in-play wager - on a match as complicated as this one.
Southampton trade at a 10/3 price for the victory while the draw is a competitive 13/5.
It really depends on which Manchester United side shows up and it will be fascinating to see if Wayne Rooney continues his stint in midfield and also whether Radamel Falcao can continue his mini run of form in front of goal. You can back Falcao as the favourite to open the scoring but his price of 11/10 to score at any point is a true sign of confidence from the bookmakers.
As always, wait until you actually see the players named on the team sheet before you make any substantial wagers on first or any time goalscorers.
