Matchweek 25
Manchester United ($1.57) vs Southampton ($5.50) – Saturday 12th January @11:30pm AEDT
Struggling Manchester United will be desperate to secure all three points against Southampton on Saturday.
The Red Devils’ horror season continued midweek, surrendering a 1-0 lead to share the points at Burnley.
United’s change of manager has so far not seen a turn in their fortune, with the Red Devils languishing in sixth.
They face a Southampton side who played their best game of the season midweek, beating Tottenham 3-2 away.
United manager Ralf Rangnick will have his work cut out for him to contain a Southampton side who are not afraid to play on the front foot, regardless whether they’re home or away.
Team News
United midfielder Fred could be in doubt due to recovering from Covid.
For Southampton, Nathan Redmond could still be sidelined.

Match Result: Man United ($1.57)
Brentford ($2.60) vs Crystal Palace ($2.87) – Sunday 13th February @2:00am AEDT
Brentford host London rivals Crystal Palace at the Brentford Community Stadium on Sunday morning.
The Bees flew out of the blocks this season, including an opening win over Arsenal to kickstart their Premier League era.
However, Thomas Frank’s side’s form has evaporated, and they are now on a five-game losing streak in the league.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are enjoying life under Patrick Viera. The Eagles can jump as high as 10th with victory here in west London.
Team News
Brentford striker Ivan Toney is likely to return for the Bees, following his absence away at Manchester City.
Palace’s Nathan Ferguson has suffered a fresh injury setback and looks unlikely to be available for selection.
Best Bets
Match Result: Crystal Palace ($2.87)
Everton ($2) vs Leeds ($3) – Sunday 13th February @2:00am AEDT
Everton will be looking to put their disappointing loss away at Newcastle midweek behind them as they face Leeds at Goodison Park.
Toffees manager Frank Lampard needs his side to start firing and quickly if they are to avoid being sucked into a relegation battle, with Everton just two points above the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Leeds sit four points above their opposition, and the Yorkshire side can climb as high as 13th if they are victorious on Merseyside.
Team News
Both sides are without a host of players, with Everton unlikely to be able to feature regulars like Demarai Gray, Yerry Mina and Abdoulaye Doucoure.
Leeds are still having to make do without star midfielder Kalvin Phillips, while Patrick Bamford and Liam Cooper are also likely to not play.
Best Bets
Match Result: Everton ($2)
