Southampton Preview – Can Saints win three on trot?
After a bit of a rocky start to the new season and a heavy 4-1 thrashing away from home at Tottenham on the opening day of the Premier League season, Southampton have steadied the ship with a 2-2 draw at home with Leeds United along with back to back wins in their subsequent two matches.
Last weekend’s league win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium was followed by a midweek League Cup win against League One outfit, Cambridge United, and these recent victories will give Saints a boost ahead of Saturday lunchtime’s clash with Manchester United.
Manchester United Preview – Can Red Devils torment Saints?
Manchester United produced a vintage display in their midweek clash against rivals Liverpool as the Red Devils ran out worthy 2-1 winners with the hosts displaying the greater desire to win and was no doubt a breath of fresh air for their frustrated fans.
United were certainly up for the clash against Liverpool but having previously lost their two preceding games to Brighton and Brentford, the latter being a heavy 4-0 loss in the nation’s capital, it remains to be seen whether United have turner a corner under manager, ten Hag or if it was just the opposition that produced an increase in motivation.
Manchester United have also lost their last seven away games on the trot in the Premier League.
