class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Ralph Hasenhuttl's side are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League matches but that record could be under threat against the Red Devils on Sunday

Southampton are looking to make it eight Premier League games without defeat for the first time since 2013 when they host Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.

Currently fifth in the league, the Saints started with two losses but have recovered impressively to win five of their last seven games.

It will certainly be a tricky test against a United side that has won two league games in a row for the first time this season, and who will also be buoyed after their 4-1 Champions League victory in midweek.

Southampton vs Manchester United Latest Odds

Despite their long unbeaten run, bet365 make Southampton 3/1 (4.0) outsiders to beat the Red Devils for the first time since January 2016.

United, though, have won on just one of their last four visits to St Mary’s Stadium but are 19/20 (1.95) favourites to pick up the three points.

Four of the last five top-flight meetings between these teams have finished in a draw and the online bookmaker go 5/2 (3.50) that they split the points once again.

Southampton vs Manchester United Team News

Key striker Danny Ings is still out for the Saints while Nathan Redmond is also injured. Otherwise, Ralph Hasenhuttl has a fully fit squad to choose from.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Victor Lindelof both face late fitness tests, while Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay are “very unlikely” to play, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed in his pre-match press conference.

Southampton vs Manchester United Preview

For all United’s inconsistencies this season, their bright spark has been away from Old Trafford where they have a 100 per cent record, with three of their four Premier League wins being on the road.

Those three games have seen them score 10 of their 13 goals in the division and although Southampton have kept three consecutive clean sheets on home turf, two of those came against the least effective attacks in the league in West Brom and Newcastle.

However, Hasenhuttl will still back his side to have plenty of joy in front goal considering they have scored twice in each of their home games this season whilst United have not managed an away clean sheet yet.

Southampton vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

It looks set to be an action-packed Premier League clash at St Mary’s Stadium and the 4/5 (1.80) on over 2.5 goals from bet365 could pay dividends for the fourth United away game in a row.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having already secured impressive results in big matches this season, Al Hain-Cole expects Mourinho's men to at least avoid defeat against the Blues

Chelsea will be aiming to overhaul Tottenham at the top of the Premier League table when the sides meet at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The Blues go into the weekend in third place, two points adrift of their London rivals who are sitting pretty in pole position after six wins from nine games so far.

Chelsea vs Tottenham Latest Odds

Having come out on top in four of their last five home league matches against this opposition, Chelsea are 21/20 (2.05) favourites with bet365 to leapfrog them with a big win here.

However, Jose Mourinho has seen his team win four out of four away matches in the league so far this campaign and can be backed at 13/5 (3.60) to extend that 100 per record by coming back to haunt his former club with a victory.

The sides needed a penalty shootout to separate them when they met in North London in September’s League Cup clash, and you can get odds of 5/2 (3.50) on them remaining all square after 90 minutes once again.

Chelsea vs Tottenham Team News

Kai Havertz is left out despite recovering his bout of Covid-19, leaving the injured Christian Pulisic as the only absentee for the hosts.

Harry Winks and Japhet Tanganga are both out, while Toby Alderweireld and Erik Lamela were definitely ruled out due to injury.

Chelsea XI: Mendy; James, Zouma, Thiago Silva, Chilwell; Kovacic, Kante, Mount; Werner, Abraham, Ziyech

Spurs XI: Lloris; Aurier, Rodon, Dier, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele; Bergwijn, Son, Kane

Chelsea vs Tottenham Preview

Although Frank Lampard’s men will be in confident spirits after winning each of their last six matches in all competitions, they should be in for a stern test against their former manager’s in-form team.

While Spurs’ impressive start to the league campaign has already seen them thrash Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford and record a highly professional victory over Manchester City, their opponents’ five wins have all come against teams currently in the bottom half.

In fact, four of their five defeated opponents go into this weekend in the bottom six, making this game Chelsea’s biggest challenge since they were outplayed by Liverpool in a 2-0 home defeat back in September.

Chelsea vs Tottenham Tips and Predictions

Given their current form and excellent results in big matches so far this campaign, odds of 8/11 (1.73) look like solid value on Tottenham maintaining some breathing space by at least avoiding defeat.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Despite looking slightly fragile at the back recently, Al Hain-Cole expects the Foxes' superior firepower to see they to victory over Parker's men

Leicester City have the chance to move level on points at the top of the Premier League table when they welcome Fulham to the King Power Stadium on Monday.

The Foxes are three points adrift of top two Tottenham and Liverpool, who they lost out to 3-0 in their last league fixture.

Leicester City vs Fulham Latest Odds

Nevertheless, they are clear 1/2 (1.50) favourites with bet365 to move ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s champions on goal difference by coming out on top in this one.

Scott Parker’s men have claimed just four points from their opening nine matches since returning to the top flight, but can be backed at 11/2 (6.50) to move out of the relegation zone with a shock win here.

The hosts came from behind three times to draw 3-3 with Braga in Thursday’s Europa League game, and you can get odds of 10/3 (4.33) on them being forced to settle for a single point once again.

Leicester City vs Fulham Team News

Timothy Castagne could return after missing the Anfield defeat with a slight hamstring issue, although Daniel Amartey, Caglar Soyuncu, Wilfred Ndidi and Ricardo Pereira remain sidelined.

Josh Onomah, Terence Kongolo and Kenny Tete are all injured for the guests, although Aboubakar Kamara is back in contention following a ban.

Leicester City vs Fulham Preview

After seeing his side’s defence dismantled in an emphatic defeat against Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers may have been slightly concerned at shipping another three goals in Portugal in midweek.

These signs of defensive frailty will certainly provide encouragement for the Cottagers, who have found the net in all but one of their last five league matches and looked fairly threatening in their 3-2 defeat against Everton last time out.

However, Fulham’s chances of earning anything at the King Power Stadium are likely to be foiled by their own defensive issues – having conceded more goals than any other team in the division despite playing one match fewer than most.

Leicester City vs Fulham Tips and Predictions

Having scored three goals or more in three of their last five fixtures, odds of 5/4 (2.25) seem generous on Leicester’s superior attacking quality providing them with all three points in a sixth match in seven against this opposition that features over 2.5 goals.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The meeting between these two sides earlier in the Champions League was a high-scoring clash and we are backing the goals to flow once more on Tuesday

Real Madrid can secure qualification into the next round of the Champions League when they visit Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

A win for the 13-time European champions would secure their place in the last 16 but Los Blancos will be wary of the Ukranian champions who beat them 3-2 in the reverse fixture on matchday one.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Real Madrid Latest Odds

Despite claiming a victory in the previous meeting between these two sides, Shakhtar are clear outsiders at 15/2 (8.50) by bet365.

The visitors have won just four of their last 10 games in all competitions but are offered at 3/10 (1.30) with the draw available at 5/1 (6.00).

Shakhtar Donestk vs Real Madrid Team News

The La Liga side have a number of injury concerns with Dani Carvajal, Fede Valverde, Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema all missing Saturday night’s defeat to Alaves, whilst Eden Hazard had to leave the game after 30 minutes with a knock..

The hosts look set to have more players available than when they visited the Spanish capital in September, although Davit Khocholava, Yevhen Konoplyanka, Viktor Korniienko, and Dentinho are all set to be sidelined. 

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Real Madrid Preview

Following a much-needed 2-0 win in Milan against Inter last week, Madrid suffered a shock 2-1 home loss to Alaves at Saturday evening to continue their inconsistent run which has seen them win only four of their last 10 games.

The defensive solidity that was the backbone of last season’s domestic title success has evaporated, with the clean sheet in Italy their only shutout in those 10 games, although going forward they are strong with 19 goals during that time.

Shakhtar, meanwhile, have not scored in the Champions League since their victory in Spain but the ease with which they created chances on matchday one will give them confidence that they can cause Madrid problems once again.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Real Madrid Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is priced at just 4/6 (1.66) which gives an indication of what is expected from this game.

For higher odds, though, backing both teams to score in the first half at 5/2 (3.50) looks like a more interesting option.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having rediscovered their touch in front of goal at the weekend, Al Hain-Cole is backing Guardiola's men to ease to victory over the Liga NOS side

Manchester City will be looking to clinch first place in their Champions League group when they travel to the Estadio do Dragao to take on Porto on Tuesday.

The Citizens are already through to the knockout stages after taking 12 points from the first available 12 in Group C, and a point in this clash will see them go through as a top seed.

Porto vs Manchester City Latest Odds

Having run out comfortable 3-1 winners in the reverse encounter at the Etihad Stadium, City are 7/10 (1.70) favourites with bet365 to maintain their 100 per cent record with a fifth consecutive win.

Sergio Conceicao’s men have won each of their three subsequent matches since the opening 3-1 defeat in Manchester but are 15/4 (4.75) outsiders to extend that run with a shock victory here.

A point would be enough for the hosts to secure their place in the last 16, and they are priced at 3/1 (4.00) to earn a creditable draw.

Porto vs Manchester City Team News

Marko Grujic is suspended after his red card against Marseille, while Pepe faces a late fitness test but Mouhamed Mbaye and Ivan Marcano are both ruled out.

Sergio Aguero and Nathan Ake are both unlikely to feature after missing Saturday’s 5-0 win over Burnley with minor injuries.

Porto vs Manchester City Preview

After a difficult start to the campaign characterised by a lack of cutting edge in front of goal, Pep Guardiola’s team will have received a welcome confidence boost following their emphatic win over Burnley.

Although already through to the next round, they will be determined to carry that feelgood factor forward with another big performance in this game – particularly as first place is still up for grabs.

In fact, their Champions League form has been free-scoring all along, hitting the net 10 times in their four group games so far.

Considering Porto have been on target 15 times in their last six home games in this competition themselves, goalmouth action is unlikely to be in short supply in this game.

Porto vs Manchester City Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 7/5 (2.40) seem very generous on City coming out on top once again for their eighth Champions League game in nine to feature over 2.5 goals, as well as Porto’s 10th home game in 12 in this competition.
