Manchester United to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n10\/11 @ matchbook<\/a>
(52.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nIn their last three outings, Sunderland have been beaten by Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and were held to a draw by already relegated Wolves. On the other hand, Man Utd are looking fresh in comparison to some top-flight sides after no European football this season and being knocked out of both cups early on. United have recorded wins against Chelsea, Brentford and Liverpool across their last three and can make it four in a row against Sunderland. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bruno Fernandes Anytime Assist<\/strong><\/td>\n5\/2 @ BOYLESports<\/a>
(28.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are beginning to sound a bit like a broken record here at Squawka, but after plenty of profit from this selection in recent weeks, we are once again backing Bruno Fernandes to provide an assist. The Manchester United man has provided a remarkable 19 assists in the Premier League this season and needs just two more to set a new record. This bet has landed in seven of his last eight outings and, looking back a little further, in 12 of his last 16.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
