Man United vs Southampton prediction and preview

Manchester United are on a 16-match unbeaten run across all competitions since January and are favourites when they take the field against Southampton. The Red Devils became the first team to register four consecutive victories with a margin of more than three goals in Premier League history, after defeating Aston Villa 3-0 in their last round of Premier League fixtures. A win against Southampton will take Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side one clear of Chelsea at third, and put them in the driving seat for Champions League qualification. 

Southampton, on the hand, have turned their campaign around after the Saints seemed destined for relegation after their 9-0 defeat to Leicester. Southampton drew their last match against Everton, having registered an impressive win over Manchester City at the weekend. Ralph Hasenhuttl's side are currently 12th in the Premier League table, and a win over Man United will lift them above Everton in the standings. The two teams drew 1-1 when they met at St. Mary's earlier in the season, with Jannik Vestergaard equalising for the Saints after Daniel James put the Red Devils in front.

Man United vs Southampton prediction

Southampton have their backs against the wall as they travel to Old Trafford on Monday (Tuesday IST). The Saints haven't defeated the Red Devils in their previous eight attempts, and their opponent's recent form makes Man United overwhelming favourites for this clash. Solskjaer's side have Champions League qualification on the line and his team is likely to be fired up for the occasion. However, Southampton will prove to be a stern test and have registered wins against Man City, Chelsea, Leicester and Tottenham to enhance their reputation as giant killers. Our Man United vs Southampton prediction is that Red Devils will register a 3-1 win at home.
