Where to watch LIVE Southampton vs Manchester United in the Premier League

After the international break, the Premier League resumes action with a duel between Southampton and Manchester United at St. Mary's Stadium. Both teams come to this match with a difficult start to the season, occupying low positions in the table. While Southampton were expecting a difficult challenge upon their return to the top flight, Manchester United's struggles have surprised more than one, putting manager Erik ten Hag under pressure. This match will be key for both teams to seek to get their season back on track.

Manchester United are facing rumors over a possible change in managerial management as Southampton seek their first points in the league. Will the visitors be able to prevail in a historically difficult terrain or will the home team be the one to surprise?

Southampton's challenge against a Manchester United in trouble

Although at first glance it may seem that Manchester United has a clear advantage in terms of quality, the recent history between both teams paints a different picture. United fans remember the historic 9-0 win in the 2020/21 season, however, the last four meetings have been much more balanced. Southampton managed to draw in three of those matches, limiting United to scoring just one goal in each match.

For Southampton, returning to the Premier League has been as difficult as they expected. So far they have not managed to score any points in the tournament, and their performance has been worrying. Despite a thrilling 5-3 League Cup victory against Cardiff, they have yet to face the strongest teams in the Premier League, raising doubts about their ability to avoid the relegation zone.

Injuries and lineups: Who has the advantage?

In terms of injuries, Southampton arrive with most of their players fit. Only goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu remains absent due to a long-term injury. However, the recent signing of Aaron Ramsdale from Arsenal raises the question of whether Bazunu will regain his place upon his return.

On the other hand, Manchester United's situation is more complicated. Key players like Tyrell Malacia, Victor Lindelof and youngster Lamine Yoro have been out since the start of the season. Furthermore, Mason Mount remains injured, and it is still unclear whether Rasmus Højlund and Luke Shaw will be available for the next match.

Possible lineup:

Manchester United: André Onana; Noussair Mazraoui, Mathijs De Light, Lisandro Martínez, Diogo Dalot; Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, Bruno Fernandes; Garnacho, Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee.

Southampton: Aaron Ramsdale; Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Jan Bednarek, Jack Stephens; Yukinari Sugawara, Will Smallbone, Flynn Downes, Joe Aribo, Kyle Walker-Peters; Adam Armstrong and Ben Brereton.

Points to keep in mind about Manchester United:

• Erik ten Hag is under pressure after a difficult start to the Premier League.
• The recent defeat against Liverpool at home has raised further doubts about his tactical ability.
  
• The incorporation of Manuel Ugarte could displace Casemiro, whose performance has been inconsistent.
  
• United have struggled to overcome Southampton in recent meetings.
  
• Injuries have affected the team's performance and lineup options.
