Man Utd have more than a foot in the Europa League final after a resounding 6-2 win over Roma on Thursday but Arsenal still have a lot of work to do when they host Villiarreal next week.
The Red Devils came from 2-1 down to blow the Italians away in the second half and barring a spectacular collapse in the Eternal City next week will take their place in Gdansk in May.
Who they will face remains less clear. The Gunners clawed their way back in to the tie after conceding a couple of early in Spain but a Nicolas Pepe’s second-half penalty will give Mikel Arteta’s renewed hope that they can turn the tie around.
United are just 1/2 (Unibet) to lift the trophy, Arsenal are 4/1 (BetVictor). Villarreal are best-priced 15/4 while Roma are now rank outsiders at 200/1 (BetVictor).
Back to the Premier League on Friday and FA Cup finalists Leicester City can move eight points clear of Chelsea in third place. The Foxes travel to Southampton for a re-run of the cup semi-final which Leicester won 1-0.
The Saints looked to have found their mojo mid-season but they’ve now lost 12 of their last 15 Premier League matches and look like a side who just want the season to end. They’re highly unlikely to get drawn in to the relegation dog-fight now which makes the 6/5 (Coral) on the away win look very handy indeed.
Leicester have scored two or more in six of their last eight and with Kelechi Iheanacho in unstoppable form you wouldn’t back against them doing so again at even money with Marathonbet. Don’t miss SlipsTips’ BetBuilder tips for the match.

Racing Tips – Thommo’s Last Day
Sadly, our expert racing tipster Alan Thomson is hanging up his whip and retiring from the site and today’s tips will be his last on the site. Thommo worked with and was a good friend of Mr Fixit so it’s especially sad to see him leave us.
He’s provided hundreds of winners for us on the site over the year and his expertise and humility will be greatly missed. We wish him all the best and thank him for his contributions.
It would be just typical of Thommo to sign-off in style and you can follow his tips for Friday here;
The man tasked with picking up the mantle from Thommo is Rizzel Tips, who some of you will remember from his brilliant tips last year at some of the festival meetings. He makes hiw bow on Saturday and we wish him the best of luck in leading us to bashing the bookies.
Golf Tips
If you’re not following The Caddy’s golf tips, why not? His 80/1 outsider tip Keegan Bradley leads at the Valspa Open by two strokes after the first round and is now around the 17/2 mark to win the tournament.
Sungjae Im isn’t too far behind on -3 either so it could be another exciting weekend if you’ve backed his tips. Fingers crossed for another profitable one.
Good luck with all your bets on Friday!
