Our betting expert with tips for St James' Park, West Ham v Southampton and Tottenham at Everton PLUS 33/1 La Liga punt.

[Tottenham](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/tottenham-hotspur-fc) probably won’t dust off a ‘legacy’ gaffer like [Crystal Palace](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/crystal-palace-fc), though of course Terry Venables is still only 80. [Declan Rice](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/declan-rice) to ‘score from outside box’ at 20/1 (Paddy) like he did at St Mary’s in the reverse fixture. [Harry Kane](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/harry-kane) strike ‘anytime’ at 13/10 (Paddy) is the safer bet at [Everton](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/everton-fc) (8pm, tomorrow) – and take the 23/10 DRAW as well. [Newcastle](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/newcastle-united-fc) and [Manchester United](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/manchester-united-fc). Over in Spain, with a huge Barca clash looming, try 33/1 that Real Madrid-Valladolid (3.15pm) is ‘no scorer’, and have UNDER 3.5 goals at 4/5 (both Bet365). [West Ham](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/west-ham-united-fc) have had nine aways in 14 games in 2023 – but are now settling into a little upswing at home and look bubbly enough for [Southampton](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/southampton-fc) ’s visit (2pm). The general 6/5 ‘UNDER 2.5 goals’ is pick of the coin-flips, and 10/1 (Fred) ‘no scorer’ will look huge if Rashford is a no-show. [Marcus Rashford](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/marcus-rashford) is an injury doubt as well, albeit of the ‘believe it when you see it’ variety. If set-piece threat Fabian Schar starts, the 14/1 (Hills) ‘anytime scorer’ is worth a spin. Expectations of Newcastle have been so massively downgraded, and Old Trafford’s new dawn so massively overhyped, that it is easy to forget there’s just three points between them today (4.30pm).

That suggests Wan-Bissaka should start here, while a return to the starting line up for Fred would be advisable. That means Weghorst goes from the off for the 19th game in a row. Wan-Bissaka dealt well with Saint-Maximin in the second half at Wembley and should start here after the job he did for 45 minutes in that game. Martial must surely be back in the squad this weekend but it's unlikely he's ready to start. Rashford is also expected to be involved in the game, despite withdrawing from the England squad with a knock. Anthony Martial is United's main striker for now and he has trained for more than three weeks.

Nick Pope and Sven Botman should be fit despite missing international duty. •2h ago We played an extra round in the Europa League. They need a breather to collect energy. “I think he can be in the squad for Sunday.” It came at a good time for Anthony Gordon to improve his injury and to try and get him closer to returning. “Fabian would be a prime example of someone who has played through pain and different things and the break came at a good time for him. “It’s been good for some players,” Howe said of the break. “He really needed a period of training and it’s really difficult to do that amongst games because obviously I need players fresh to play so obviously you can’t work them in the way you want them. “I’ve seen Callum really use the break wisely. Now the board’s decision to smash Newcastle United’s transfer record is being belatedly vindicated. Shaw’s contract is set to mark the first piece of squad shaping concluded by United while bids are in on a takeover.

Crystal Palace vs. Leicester City (April 1, 2023). Roy Hodgson made his second surprising managerial comeback with a return to the Crystal Palace dugout on ...

Overall, he’s taken charge of over 850 top-flight games across the Premier League, Ligue 1, Serie A and La Liga with 227 of these games coming in the Premier League across his career at Chelsea, Fulham, Leicester City and the Hornets – famously winning the Premier League title against all the odds with Leicester in 2015-16. At the time of his sacking, he was the oldest manager in the Premier League (70) and he was also the oldest to manage in Serie A last season (69) by nearly six years. This was his final match in the competition, before relinquishing his short-term position as boss of the Blues to Antonio Conte. Ferguson won 13 top-flight English league titles as a manager during his 27 years at Manchester United – more than twice as many as any other manager in the history of the league and seven more than his closest rivals. He quit the club just a day after this game, with Sunderland winless in eight top-flight matches in 2015-16. Obviously – with Robson and Hodgson never having done so – Fergie is the oldest manager to win a Premier League title. There’s only been one 5-5 draw in the entire history of the Premier League, but it came in Sir Alex Ferguson’s final game as a manager. The much-admired Bobby Robson was 71 years, 192 days old on his final Premier League game as a manager, with Newcastle’s 0-0 draw at Aston Villa his last. He secured 83 wins and a points-per-game average of 1.60 across his 188 games in the competition. This average was even lower than his predecessor Claudio Ranieri – the fifth oldest Premier League manager – who averaged 0.54 points-per-game at the Hornets. At the end of 2020-21, Hodgson ended his 45-year managerial career as Crystal Palace manager with their Premier League trip to former club Liverpool at Anfield. Who is the oldest Premier League manager of all time?
