The fixture kicks off at Old Trafford at 8 pm and the Saints are a hefty 10/1 to get the result here and kickstart their campaign to stay off the bottom and out of the relegation zone. 

Sir Alex Ferguson’s men can be backed at a slim 1/4 and that makes them one of the biggest locks of the entire day in the world of European football. Those who are backing United to get the result will probably do well to spread their wagers out elsewhere and lock in some decent prices on goalscorer wagers or even the correct score. 

The favoured correct score outcome is a 2-0 result to United and that’s priced at a slim 13/2. The problem with this one is that if United get two quick ones they can easily pull away and win this one 6-0. A 6-0 result would reward at 50/1. 

Robin Van Persie is set to return to action in this one after being rested during the last leg of the FA Cup Tournament. You can back Van Persie at a 2/5 price to grab an anytime goal while he’s available at a 2/1 price to score first or last. 

There is some pressure on Wayne Rooney to get in there and really keep up with the pace that Van Persie has set and you’ll be able to back Rooney to grab an anytime goal at an 8/11 price. The first or last goalscorer bet is set at 3/1 and you can expect him to start. 

Rickie Lambert is looking like the choice for any Southampton fans looking to back a goalscorer - he’s trading at a 5/1 margin to score anytime. 

Our parlay today will be United x Chelsea x D (Ars v Liv) @ 6/1.
