OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER has a habit of digging out a win when he really needs one and eased some of the pressure when Manchester United beat Spurs on Sunday.
But the heat is still on the Old Trafford boss so he will have to deliver another victory when United face Atalanta in the Champions League.
Ole’s boys came from 2-0 down to beat the Italians 3-2 in an Old Trafford thriller and it should be another open game in Italy.
Playing five at the back paid off for United at Tottenham as they kept a first clean sheet in 11 but Atalanta always go all-out attack.
BTTS has landed in their last six and pays just 1/2 (W Hill) tonight but over 1.5 first-half goals is better at 24/19 with SBK.
Atalanta’s Duvan Zapata has scored in his last two games so looks the best value for anytime scorer at 17/11 with VBet.
Chelsea battered Malmo 4-0 at Old Trafford so you fear for the Swedes when they host the Euro champions tonight.
Malmo have yet to score in the group so another Blues win to nil looks the shout at 10/11 with Bet365.
Kai Havertz should be Chelsea’s focal point up front with Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner injured and the German is 6/5 with Unibet to score.
Crisis club Barcelona are without a win in three so Dynamo Kiev look a bit overpriced at 4/1 with McBookie to pile on the misery in Ukraine tonight.
Bayern Munich should seal a fourth successive win in the same group at home to Benfica but the Portuguese side might grab a goal.
Bayern have shipped seven in their last two games so backing a home win with BTTS appeals at 11/8 (McBookie).
