STREAM MANCHESTER UNITED – SOUTHAMPTON LIVE
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side sit second in the Premier League table and can momentarily go level on points with Premier League leaders Manchester City if they win. Solskjaer’s side beat the Saints 3-2 earlier this season in a dramatic comeback win at St Mary’s, and after a loss against Sheffield United and a draw at Arsenal, they can’t afford to keep dropping points if they want to win the title.
As for Southampton, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side have won just once in their last eight games and have lost three on the trot, as well as most of their defense and midfield to injuries. Danny Ings needs help in attack if Saints are to revive their season, as a top 10 finish is still their main aim. But they have to get healthy.

Prediction
Manchester United should ease to victory here, but that usually isn’t the case against Southampton. The Red Devils have made life tough for themselves throughout this season, but they have too much quality for the Saints and can rotate their squad. That is key. Manchester United 2-1 Southampton.
