Manchester United vs Southampton
The 2021/22 campaign has been one to forget for Manchester United, who have not even won half of their games thus far. The latest setback was a 1-1 draw with Burnley earlier this week, which came on the back of their FA Cup ouster against Middlesbrough. The poor results in the league have left the Red Devils lagging in the top-four chase, with West Ham United a point ahead.
On the other hand, Southampton’s early season travails seem a thing of the distant past, with the Saints in contention for a top-half finish. With 18th-placed Norwich City 11 points adrift in the drop zone, relegation is highly unlikely, which has been a direct consequence of just one defeat in their last seven Premier League games.
The reverse fixture played at St. Mary’s back in August ended in a 1-1 draw, with Mason Greenwood earning Manchester United a point after an own goal by Fred handed Southampton the lead.
