Manchester United will play hosts to Southampton in the Premier League matchday 22 on Tuesday. The kick-off is at 20:15 GMT.

Preview

The Red Devils are set to be extra-motivated when they welcome the Saints to Old Trafford in midweek as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have only claimed one point from their previous two league encounters against Sheffield Utd and Arsenal. United's two-game run without a win saw them drop to second in the PL table with 41 points taken from 21 games.

So'ton, meanwhile, have suffered three defeats in the Premier League on the bounce ahead of their trip to Manchester, including Saturday's 1-0 loss at the hands of Aston Villa. Despite enjoying a promising start to the 2020/21 season, Ralph Hasenhuttl's side now sit in 11th in the standings, 12 points adrift and with one in hand over the Red Devils.

Scott McTominay is the only doubt in Solskjaer's squad for Tuesday's clash (stomach cramp).

Mohammed Salisu and Michael Obafemi won't travel to Old Trafford through injuries while Jannik Vestergaard and Kyle Walker-Peters are yet to return to full fitness and are set to miss the upcoming encounter.

Prediction

United remain unbeaten against the Saints in their last 10 head-to-head meetings and thus are placed as clear favourites to extend that streak to 11 games on Tuesday. The Red Devils defeated Hasenhuttl's men 3-2 at St Mary's in November thanks to Edinson Cavani's off-the-bench brace but So'ton were really close to drawing Solskjaer's side back then. We'd say that United are likely to scoop a narrow win this time around, considering the visitors' poor form of late.
