Southampton – Manchester Utd

Premier League prediction

Tonight at 22:00

[table id=120 /]

Southampton, comes after two consecutive defeats, against top teams, 0: 3 Manchester City at home and 1: 0 in the Emirates in front of the Arsenal. As you can see in the last two matches, the hosts have not scored any goal. The last success of the Southampton was recorded after three stages, victory with 2: 0 at home in front of Leicester. “Home” tonight’s hosts have collected just four goals in eight matches, with six wins, one draw and one defeat. Jack Cork and Morgan Schneiderlin are definitely ruled out for Southampton while Toby Alderweireld is struggling with a hamstring strain.

Southampton last results:

Manchester United is in very good shape, the last four matches were four consecutive wins in the championship. It seems that the Dutchman Louis Van Gaal found the winning formula at United. Last round, Manchester United won with the score 2: 1 at home in front of Stoke City. Manchester United are on  the 4th place in the standings, United’s win over Hull kept them in fourth position in the Premier League, and the last four stages, “red devils” recorded 4 victories. In the seven games played at home, Manchester United has five wins, one draw and one defeat, scoring 14 goals and received five.

Manchester United will be without forward Angel Di Maria, who injured his hamstring in the win over Hull on Saturday. After beating Crystal Palace and Aesenal by a single goal, Manchester performance of Saturday’s night was a great one, they defeated Hull 3-0, and we can say that was on of the best performance lately. For such a top-heavy team, United should feel disappointed not to have scored more this campaign. Injuries and an emphasis on organising the defence have contributed, however they are still some way short of fulfilling Van Gaal’s “philosophy”.

Manchester United last results:

In the last five direct confrontations Manchester recorded three victories and two draws. The last victory of Southampton was in 2003, when they imposed at home and won with a 1-0 score.
