And that included a superb tip from Betfair's guru James Mackie. Mackie's suggestion for Fulham's home clash with Manchester United on Sunday night was all about Alex Iwobi. On the show, he said: “I've just gone for a single selection here. And I think it's actually a bit of hidden value here. It's 17/2 for Alex Iwobi to have two shots on target.

“If you look at some of the stats around Iwobi, he's had two first shots in each of his last five matches. Including three shots on target in his last three. “He has been absolutely superb under Silva. That front four have been absolutely brilliant and Iwobi's been a big part of that.

“If you look on the side, he's going to play against Diogo Dalot or Noussair Mazraoui. “They give up opportunities, left, right and centre. I think it's a cracking bet.”. And so it proved. SunSport exclusives. Already have these accounts? Don't worry, we've got loads more terrific deals below!.
