Manchester United vs Southampton<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Saints will head to Old Trafford on Wednesday, February 3 at 7:15am (all times AEDT).<\/p>\n

Having fallen from the summit of the top flight and eager to remain in the chase for the title, Manchester United will be keen to bounce back midweek with three points at home.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils will host Southampton on Wednesday, with the Saints facing the chances of a fourth consecutive loss in the league as they sit in the bottom half of the table.<\/p>\n

Following on from their controversial loss to Aston Villa on the weekend, Southampton will be sure to come out firing against United when you add in their earlier clash from this season.<\/p>\n

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men returned north following on from the 3-2 victory, with Edison Cavani the hero for the Red Devils, netting two late goals to extend the Red Devils\u2019 undefeated run over the Saints to nine league matches.<\/p>\n

While United remain in second place thanks to Leicester\u2019s defeat at the hands of Leeds, the Mancunians have looked somewhat lethargic, falling to Sheffield United and dropping points to Arsenal.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s clash will be a significant chance to snatch three points, with rivals Manchester City and Liverpool placed either side of the Red Devils in the premiership hunt.<\/p>\n

United\u2019s form at home will be another key question ahead of this fixture, with the club collecting just the 14 points from their 10 matches at Old Trafford so far this season.<\/p>\n

Will United get back to their winning ways? Or can Southampton snatch three points away from home?<\/p>\n

Our Tip: Manchester United Win @ $1.50<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fulham vs Leicester<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Cottagers will host the Foxes on Thursday, February 4 at 5:00am.<\/p>\n

A disappointing past week has seen Leicester fall behind in the title race, with the Foxes snatching just one point between their matches against Leeds and Everton, moving back to fourth on the premiership table.<\/p>\n

An ugly defeat to Leeds cost Bredan Rodgers\u2019 men second place in the league as they aim to claw back to the top rather than look over their shoulder.<\/p>\n

To keep themselves in the hunt, the Foxes will have to collect three points at Craven Cottage midweek, with the relegation-placed Fulham just as keen for the victory.<\/p>\n

Scott Parker\u2019s are placed on a 10-game winless run, with their last victory coming against the Foxes on the first day of December.<\/p>\n

Despite dominance from Leicester at home, that fixture ended 2-1 in favour of the Londoners and Parker will be praying for more of the same this week to limit their gap from safety.<\/p>\n

Can the Cottagers cause an upset once again? Or will the Foxes bounce back into form?<\/p>\n

Our Tip: Leicester Win @ $1.90<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Burnley vs Manchester City<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Clarets will welcome the top-placed City on Thursday, February 4 at 5:00am.<\/p>\n

Sitting on a 12-game winning run across all competitions, there doesn\u2019t look to be much stopping Manchester City from a successive 2021.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola\u2019s men have been in dominant form the past two months and have a strong hold on the title race, placed atop the league with a game in hand.<\/p>\n

The Sky Blues will look to extend their run midweek as they travel to Burnley, a club they have defeated in their past seven clashes and have gone undefeated in a total of 12 matches.<\/p>\n

While City\u2019s world-class firepower up front has become accustomed to the headlines, it has been their defensive strengths that have led to their impressive run.<\/p>\n

Their impressive back-line will come up against one of the poorer attacking sides in the competition, with Burnley scoring just the 13 goals so far this campaign.<\/p>\n

The Clarets have come into some promising form in the past month though, lifting themselves away from the cellar-dwellers and now eight points clear of the bottom three.<\/p>\n

Wins against Wolves, Liverpool, Sheffield and Aston Villa have seen Sean Dyche\u2019s side send a warning to the rest of the league, with City the next club in their sights.<\/p>\n

Can Burnley cause an upset for the ages? Or will City add another victory to their hot run?<\/p>\n

Our Tip: Man City To Win Both Halves @ $2.30<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
