Southampton Form

Southampton’s transition back to the Premier League after Championship promotion hasn’t been a smooth experience. Russell Martin’s outfit have fallen to three straight defeats and scored once.

The Saints lost 1-0 against ten-man Newcastle on the opening day before another 1-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest. A 5-3 EFL Cup win away against Cardiff provided some relief.

The South Coast side couldn’t generate momentum after thrashing Cardiff and lost 3-1 at Brentford. Southampton allowed 3.86 XG, conceded 20 shots and were 3-0 down before Yukinari Sugawara’s injury-time consolation.

Southampton Injuries

Striker Ross Stewart must pass a late fitness test on Saturday to play a part in this clash.

Goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu is ruled out.

Man United Form

Man United showed signs of promise early in the 2024/25 campaign. The Red Devils held Man City to a 1-1 Community Shield draw and beat Fulham 1-0 in the Premier League.

United were then narrowly defeated in a 2-1 loss at Brighton after conceding a 94th-minute winner at the Amex.

Erik Ten Hag’s team had a second consecutive defeat at home against Liverpool before the international break, losing 3-0. United were 2-0 down at half time, had just eight shots on goal and let in a third on 55 minutes.

Man United Injuries

Defenders Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro and Tyrell Malacia will not feature due to injury.

Striker Rasmus Hojlund and midfielder Mason Mount also remain sidelined through injury.

Verdict

Southampton v Man Utd

Southampton have lost to mid-table Premier League sides recently and are likely to struggle against United. The Red Devils have enough class to control the game at St Mary’s and seal a much-needed Premier League victory.
