Match Preview

It has been a challenging start to the new Premier League season for both Man United and Southampton, with both sides coming into this first round following the international break in the bottom half of the standings. The Saints currently sit second bottom in the league table, and they have suffered defeats in each of their opening three matches at the start of the new season.

Russell Martin’s side were outclassed in their latest outing in the top-flight after suffering a 3-1 loss on the road against Brentford. The slimmest of positives from that clash came in the fifth minute of second-half injury time, as the Saints netted for the first time since gaining promotion back to the Premier League.

Questions continue to be asked surrounding Erik ten Hag’s long-term future at Man United. The Red Devils come into this round chasing a return to form after suffering defeats in each of their last two matches. Their most recent loss was a disappointing home outing against Liverpool, as they crashed to a humbling 3-0 loss against their biggest rivals.

Ten Hag is likely to hand Manuel Ugarte a first United start this weekend, as Casemiro’s recent performances indicate that age is catching up with the former Real Madrid star. Meanwhile, the Red Devils boast a positive record in this fixture after winning 12 of their last 24 matches against the Saints, averaging just under two goals per game.
