Man Utd v Southampton Odds

The Man Utd v Southampton odds for this Manchester Utd Southampton FA Cup clash sees a struggling Championship team take on the might of the Premier League. It comes as no surprise to hear that Man Utd are put in as the 1/4 on favourites to win this match which is live on Setanta Sports. This match is in fact a repeat of the 1976 FA Cup final which was won by the Saints and the price of a repeat is 11/1 with online bookmaker Ladbrokes. In 1976 Southampton had one of their most famous players ever in the side, Mick Channon but today even with 11 more Mick Channons on the field Southampton would still struggle such has the game move on over the last 30 years. The Saints today have a gaggle of young players who have impressed their supporters with the type of football they play but they have no penetration in the final third of the field and they will come up well short on Sunday afternoon, hey but this is the FA Cup 3rd round where anything can happen!

Man Utd come into this game as usual in good shape, after the recent setbacks by their opposition they are once again favourites to win the Premier League even though they are still only third on points. They have this knack of peaking at the right time of the season and they will be keen to have a good run in the FA Cup this season after falling short last year and they should cruise through this test against a very inexperienced team. This is an excellent opportunity for United to rattle up a big score and 4-0 victory at 10/1 could be an interesting bet in this match. Don't believe all the FA Cup hype United will make short work of the Saints but the only options are correct score or first goalscorer betting.
