THE LOWDOWN
MAN UTD
- A strong response is expected by Man Utd after falling victim to the worst result in the history of fixtures between United and Liverpool last Sunday, losing 7-0 at Anfield after an unforgettable second-half collapse.
- Erik ten Hag may opt for the same side who brushed past Real Betis 4-1 in the Europa League this past Thursday night, with only Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek confirmed absentees.
SOUTHAMPTON
- Southampton gave their survival hopes a massive boost with a 1-0 win against Leicester which saw them ride their luck, but do enough to gain the three points which brings them level on points with Bournemouth and Everton ahead of this latest round of games.
- Despite scoring the winner vs the Foxes, Carlos Alcaraz couldn't complete the match due to knee injury and is a major doubt for Southampton's visit to Old Trafford.
THE TEAM NEWS
MAN UTD
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Fred; Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst
UNAVAILABLE: Eriksen (Injured), Van de Beek (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Sabitzer (Injured), Martial (Fitness)
SOUTHAMPTON
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Bazunu; Maitland-Niles, Bednarek, Bella-Kotchap, Walker-Peters; Ward-Prowse, Lavia; Walcott, Elyounoussi, Sulemana; Adams
UNAVAILABLE: Larios (Injured), Livramento (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Alcaraz (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
It’s unfortunate from a Southampton point of view that they face Man Utd following the Red Devils’ humiliation at the hands of their biggest rivals. They will be looking to take out all their frustration on the Saints, who are unlikely to be afforded the sort of luck they got against Leicester, who missed a number of huge chances to score. A convincing, dominant performance is expected from United and any outcome other than victory for the hosts by at least two clear goals would be a surprise.
TIP: MAN UTD TO WIN WITH -1 HANDICAP
