Southampton vs Man Utd Sep 14, 2024 Match Preview and Stats

Man Utd and Erik ten Hag are desperate for a win this weekend as the Premier League returns following the international break.

The Red Devils take on one of the newly promoted sides, Southampton, who have lost every league game in 2024/25 so far.

Match Preview

Southampton Recent Form

Southampton have lost all three of their Premier League matches since earning promotion back into the top flight. They lost 1-0 against Newcastle on the opening day and followed that with defeats at home against Nottingham Forest and away at Brentford.

They have found the back of the net on just one occasion so far, and conceded five.

The Saints earned a short reprieve in the League Cup as they won 5-3 away at Cardiff.

Southampton Injury News

Gavin Bazunu remains out and won’t play until 2025 at the earliest.

Kamaldeen and Sulemana and Ross Stewart are nearing return from injury, but Saturday will come to quickly for them to feature from the start.

Last Southampton Lineup

Southampton (3-5-2): Ramsdale; Hardwood-Bells, Bednarek, Stephens; Sugawara, Smallbone, Downes, Aribo, Walker-Peters; Armstrong, Brereton Diaz

Man Utd Recent Form

United weren’t at their best on the opening day but still managed to claim all three points against Fulham thanks to a late goal from new signing Joshua Zirkzee.

They then lost 2-1 in the last minute against Brighton before being humbled 3-0 at home by arch-rivals, Liverpool. Ten Hag is under pressure already and we are only three games into the new campaign.

Man Utd Injury News

Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund, Victor Lindelöf and Luke Shaw are on the treatment table for United, but there is hope that Shaw and Lindelöf could return soon.

Bruno Fernandes suffered a knock while on international duty with Portugal, but he’ll be fine to start at St. Mary’s.

Last Man Utd Lineup

Man Utd (4-2-3-1): Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Mainoo; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Zirkzee
