The Saints are yet to register their first point this season. 

Southampton have found life difficult in the Premier League after securing promotion from the Championship. The Saints currently find themselves in the bottom of the league after losing all the three matches they have played so far. Goal-scoring has been a major problem for the team after scoring just one goal in these matches. 

However, things have been different for them in the Carabao Cup having thrashed Cardiff City by a 5-3 scoreline in the second round. Russell Martin knows if his side can replicate this kind of performance in the league, then they have a serious chance of finishing on the safer side by the end of the season. 

Meanwhile, Manchester United have suffered consecutive losses in their last two matches against Brighton and Liverpool which has put the pressure back on the shoulders of Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils were comfortably beaten by the Reds who were the better side in Old Trafford. 

However, things could change for them if they start producing the results. They have some interesting fixtures coming up starting with an away match against struggling Southampton followed by EFL Cup and Europa League ties. Squad rotation will be key in these matches to keep the squad fresh and competitive. 

Kick-Off:

Saturday, 14 September 2024 at 5:00 PM IST

Location: St. Mary’s Stadium

Form:

⁠Southampton (in all competitions): D-L-L-W-L

Manchester United (in all competitions): L-D-W-L-L

Players to Watch

Adam Armstrong (Southampton)

Last season’s top scorer for the Saints, Adam Armstrong, failed to hit the ground running after drawing a blank in the opening three matches. The England U20 international scored 24 goals for them last season in all competitions while also providing 13 assists in the process. Armstrong will be the threat for Manchester United in this match as he can cause their backline plenty of problems with his movements and runs while also getting past opponents at ease with his effective dribbling. 

Marcus Rashford (⁠Manchester United)

Once considered among the best players in the league, Marcus Rashford is enduring a tough time after struggling to make his mark in the opening matches. However, this match provides a good platform for him to return to his brilliant best as they take on a struggling Saints side. Rashford’s pace and directness can cause several problems for the home team with the England international boasting a top-flight experience having netted over 131 goals for the Red Devils since breaking into the side in 2015.
