3 Ways - Manchester United 73/100

Manchester United are on a run of 15 games without a loss to Southampton. The Saint Mary's has been a happy hunting ground for United over the years. They have gone without a defeat at this venue for 21 years. The last time Southampton beat United at home was in August of 2003.

Recent form is also an indicator of worry for Southampton, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last four matches. They are off to a rocky start in the Premier League, failing to secure a win in each of their last three matches in the Premier League. They did however, manage a 3-5 away win against Cardiff in the EFL Cup. However, they returned to a loss against Brentford in the league.

United are in need of all three points in this match, after they failed to defeat Brighton and Liverpool. Those two defeats saw them fall six points behind Manchester City and Liverpool, who are currently setting the pace at the top of the league. They sitting in 14th position with a goal difference of -3.

All eyes will be on Erik Ten Hag as his team lines up to face Southampton. The international break has given the team a chance to reflect and prepare for this match. I think Manchester United will be up for the task and will secure a win against Southampton.
