Trends show Southampton have been struggling to win matches and they have recorded only 1 win from their 9 most recent Premier League fixtures.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in each of Southampton’s last 8 Premier League games and in 6 of their last 7 at home. Both teams have scored in Southampton’s last 3 home Premier League matches.
Manchester United make the trip to St. Mary's Stadium having recorded their first win of the season on Monday night.
It was a massive victory for the Red Devils over rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford and by far the best performance of the season to date for Manchester United.
It was a crucial win for Manchester United following two disappointing results in the Premier League. They started with a 2-1 loss at home against Brighton and Hove Albion before suffering an embarrassing 4-0 loss at Brentford.
Away form in the Premier League is poor and Manchester United have lost each of their last 7 away league fixtures. The defeats have come against Manchester City, Everton, Liverpool, Arsenal, Brighton, Crystal Palace, and Brentford.
Trends show Manchester United have failed to score a goal in each of their last 3 away Premier League games. They have also conceded 2 or more goals in 4 of their last 5 away league matches.
Looking ahead to the team news and Southampton are without the injured duo of Romain Perraud and Valentino Livramento.
Manchester United have doubts over the fitness of Victor Lindelof, Facundo Pellistri, and Brandon Williams. Casemiro could make his debut for Manchester United but might have to settle for a place on the bench.
Both teams will be feeling confident of their chances having won last week and that could lead to an open game. Manchester United have a terrible recent away record in the Premier League and that cannot be ignored. Southampton could claim their second victory of the season, with both teams scoring.
