Manchester United have stalled in the Premier League title race just as neighbours Manchester City have begun to motor.

A return of one point from six is disappointing for the Red Devils, but they have the opportunity to draw level on points with City on Tuesday if they beat Southampton at Old Trafford.

I fancy United, because the Saints have hit a dip in form and have injuries.

Ralph Hassenhuttl has done a good job, but Southampton have lost three on the bounce in the Premier League and have only registered one win in eight.

Kyle Walker-Peters and Jannik Vestergaard are already out, and are set to be joined on the sidelines by Theo Walcott and Oriol Romeu.

In each of the last five Premier League meetings between these teams, both sides have scored - there was a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford last July, before Edinson Cavani scored twice in a 3-2 win for the Red Devils at St Mary's back in November.

Uruguayan striker Cavani missed a big chance against Arsenal in the nil-nil draw last Saturday, but he's begun to find his feet with his new club - his work rate, movement, and running all impressive components to his game. He's a top striker, so that should be no surprise.

Cavani appears to be in better form than Anthony Martial and I expect United to create chances. With fond memories of his last appearance against Southampton, I am backing Cavani to score at any time and for us to double our money. Let's hope Ole Gunnar Solskjaer picks him now!

Good luck!
