Bruno Fernandes played a crucial role in Manchester United's victory over Arsenal in the FA Cup at the Emirates. Did you hear the incredible sounds of solar flares and sun explosions that were featured in a captivating story on Metro Online? It was truly remarkable and reminiscent of the music produced by the iconic psychedelic band, Pink Floyd. In particular, the song "Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun" stood out as it featured all of the band's members, including Syd Barrett, from their second album "A Saucerful of Secrets." Some even compared it to a potential outtake from their famous album, "Dark Side of The Moon."
However, the sounds of the sun's activity will pale in comparison to the emptiness felt by the losing team in the Premier League match between Manchester United and Southampton at Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim's team is expected to use their recent 2-2 draw against Liverpool and their impressive FA Cup penalty shoot-out win against Arsenal, despite being down to ten men, as motivation to climb up the league table. Their next opponent, Southampton, is considered one of the weakest teams to ever play in the top flight, having only won once at home and failing to win a single game on the road this season.
Southampton's defense has been slightly better in away games, only conceding 17 goals compared to 27 at their home stadium of St Mary's. On the other hand, Manchester United's offense has struggled at home, scoring only 13 goals in the league. They were even unable to score in their recent defeats to Bournemouth and Newcastle, as well as a loss to Wolves, before putting up a better performance against Liverpool. This upcoming match will be a major test for Amorim's players, who have only earned 13 points out of a possible 30 against visiting teams. However, they should take advantage of the weak opposition and secure a victory, despite Southampton's recent confidence boost from their 3-0 FA Cup win over Swansea.
In light of these factors, Ruben Amorim will surely demand nothing less than three points from his team as they face last-placed Southampton at Old Trafford. Manchester United are the favorites to lead at half-time and full-time, with odds of 19/20, and a 2-0 victory is also a popular bet at 7/1 with bet365. Bruno Fernandes, who scored his first goal in five games against Arsenal, is a strong contender to open the scoring and is priced at 11/2 with Paddy Power, Betfair, and bet365.
In other sports news, Brighton, who recently won 4-0 against Norwich in the FA Cup, are the favorites to secure another victory against Ipswich with odds of 11/10 from Ladbrokes, Coral, and Betfred. The PGA Tour is also returning to mainland America after its first two events in Hawaii, with the American Express taking place at La Quinta. Golf fans can look out for Adam Hadwin, who holds the course record and has placed in the top six in five of his nine visits. He is a promising choice for an each-way bet at 60/1 with Betfair and Paddy Power. Additionally, Cornwall's very own Harry Hall impressed with a tied eighth finish at the Sony Open and is available at 40/1 with the same two firms. For a final bet, consider Hadwin to be the top Canadian player with odds of 13/5 from several firms.
