Sports Innovation previews the Premier League match between Manchester United and Southampton and offers team stats, betting tips and the latest odds.
Manchester United welcome an in-form Southampton side over to Old Trafford for their latest Premier League match on Saturday.
Despite a dominant first-half performance against Burnley last time out, Ralf Rangnick’s men slipped up again. They could’ve been three or more goals ahead before the break. But they drew 1-1 instead, losing valuable ground in the top-four race as a result.
The Red Devils now lie sixth in the Premier League table, hoping to repeat last season’s stunning 9-0 win over Southampton on Saturday.
The 10th-placed Saints, though, head to the Theatre of Dreams on a high after beating Tottenham 3-2 in north London and plan to pull off another upset here.
