Southampton team news
Southampton will have quite the uphill battle to try and beat Manchester United. They almost stunned the EPL powers last year, getting off to a 2-0 start in their showdown at St. Mary’s Stadium, but United roared back to win 3-2. Normally Danny Ings would be the one to try and find the back of the net against the Manchester side, but he joined Aston Villa earlier this month.

Marcus Rashford is out until October with his shoulder injury, while Alex Telles has already been ruled out because of an ankle injury. United fans could see Edinson Cavani on the pitch for some minutes in the second half after he missed the season-opener.

Southampton vs Manchester United prediction
This should be another fun tilt, as both Southampton and United will be hungry to record a win. At the end of the day, though, we think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team will be too much to handle for the home team.
