Man Utd vs Southampton: Preview, predictions and lineups

- Man Utd take on Southampton in the Premier League on Thursday night
- United showed plenty of grit to beat Arsenal on penalties in FA Cup
- Saints remain at the foot of the table and on course for historically poor season
Manchester United welcome Southampton to Old Trafford on Thursday night having secured back-to-back morale-boosting results away from home.
After impressing at Anfield and picking up a 2-2 draw, Man Utd progressed into the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday following a penalty shootout victory at Arsenal.
The Red Devils rode their luck after going a man down and were reliant on some woeful Gunners finishing, but Ruben Amorim’s side สมัคร ufabet กับเรา รับโบนัสทันที nonetheless showed plenty of grit and determination to take the cup tie to penalties. Amorim will hope United’s previous two results will serve as a springboard for his reign, with his team currently sitting 14th in the Premier League table off the back of a four-game winless run.
They have a great chance to secure their first league victory since 15 December on Thursday as bottom-of-the-table Southampton visit the Theatre of Dreams. Ivan Juric has overseen no major resurgence at the start of his tenure on the south coast, but the visitors head into this game having claimed a 3-0 cup win over Swansea City on Sunday.
The Saints have been miserable upon their return to the Premier League. They’re on course for a historically poor campaign having recorded a mere six points from 20 games.
Man Utd team news
Diogo Dalot misses out after picking up two yellow cards in the FA Cup on Sunday, so we could see Tyrell Malacia come into the starting XI at left wing-back.
Andre Onana will return to Amorim’s side despite Altay Bayindir’s heroics at the weekend, while Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee are in contention for starts.
The hosts will be without Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans through injury. While Amad Diallo was carrying a knock entering Sunday’s cup tie and was only used off the bench as a result. The Ivorian, who recently committed his future to the Red Devils, should start on Thursday.
