Saturday’s football tips: Southampton keeper Peretz evens for over 4.5 saves against City

Manchester City should stay on track for a domestic Treble when they take on shock troops Southampton in the FA Cup semi-finals this evening.

Pep Guardiola's men already have the EFL Cup in the bag and moved top of the Premier League table with a win at Burnley in midweek.

So it would be a big surprise if they slipped up against Championship opposition at Wembley, even though Saints are on an incredible 20-match unbeaten run.

Manchester City vs Southampton top betting tips

Southampton upset the odds in the last round by dumping Arsenal out but that match was at St Mary's and they're now facing City on neutral ground.

The bookies can't see them springing another shock and Tonda Eckert's men are as big as 7/1 with Bet365 to reach the showpiece.

Betting on the Burnley keeper having a busy night in midweek paid off for me and Saints No.1 Daniel Peretz is evens at Bet365 to make over 4.5 saves in the semi-final.

Guardiola could make some changes to freshen things up and if Brazilian winger Savinho starts, he looks a decent price at 11/10 with Virgin Bet to score or assist.

Arsenal vs Newcastle United

With Manchester City on FA Cup duty, Arsenal can go back to the Premier League summit if they beat Newcastle United at the Emirates.

This game is absoutely massive for the Gunners as they bid to get back on track after winning just one of their last six in all competitions.

They good news for Mikel Arteta is Newcastle are in even worse form, with Eddie Howe under pressure after four defeats in a row.

So Arsenal look worthy 10/21 favourites at Ladbrokes and I'm going to combine the home win with under 3.5 goals at 7/5 with Betway.

Having skipper Bruno Guimaraes back fit again is a boost for the Magpies and the Brazilian is a tempting 21/10 at Coral to have an effort on target.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs remain in the Premier League drop zone and today's clash with relegated Wolves looks like a must-win if they're to avoid tumbling into the Championship themselves.

With Nottingham Forest winning last night, it's vital Tottenham keep in touch with them and fellow drop rivals West Ham.

Roberto De Zerbi will take heart from his side's display last weekend against Brighton, even though a late equaliser robbed them off two precious points.

Spurs are just 3/4 for a victory at Molineux but adding on over 1.5 goals boosts the odds to 10/11 at Bet365. I'm going to back them at -1 in the handicap, which pays 6/5 with the same firm.

Xavi Simons scored a screamer last week and the Dutchman looks good at 6/5 for a goal or assist today with William Hill.
