Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson is getting fully behind a certain Erling Haaland for the Manchester derby.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Erling Haaland to score | 1/1 with Sky Bet | Erling Haaland needs no introduction, with the big Norwegian picking up where he left off at the World Cup, starting the season in sensational form. Haaland’s record against Manchester Utd is well worth talking about as he’s scored eight goals in just seven league appearances against them. That includes a brace at Old Trafford two years ago. Take even money or bigger for the big man to score. |
| Erling Haaland to score a header | 13/2 with William Hill | Haaland has scored a header against Crystal Palace and Coventry in the Premier League since the start of the campaign. He also bagged with his head against Porto in the Champions League on Tuesday and looks overpriced at 13/2 for another on Sunday. Manchester United have conceded plenty of set-piece chances this season; Hull scored two on the opening weekend of the campaign, and Everton’s centre-backs had numerous attempts last weekend. |
