EUR/GBP extends losses below 0.8700 after rejection at the 0.8720 area.
Eurozone Industrial Production is unlikely to support the Euro on Monday.
In the UK, investors will be attentive to Tuesday's employment report.

The pair dropped 0.3% on Friday, despite the upward revision of the Eurozone Gross Domestic Product's (GDP) second estimation, and is unlikely to draw any major support from the Industrial Production data scheduled for Monday. Factory output is expected to have contracted at a 1.5% pace in December, following a 0.7% gain in November.

The UK calendar is empty on Monday, and investors will be on the lookout for Tuesday’s employment report, which might provide further clues about the Bank of England’s next monetary policy decisions.
