United arrives for this match after a modest 1-1 draw against Burnley last Tuesday, they still suffer a lot with their defensive system since within the first 9 Premier League teams they are the team that has conceded the most goals, a total of 31. However, it is visible a certain improvement in the tactical organization of the team in the last months and they are also evolving in this defensive aspect.

A win today could leave the team in 4th position since it is just 1 point behind fourth-placed West Ham with 40 points. Overall, the team has 11 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in 23 games, 37 goals scored and 31 conceded. Only 1 defeat in the last 6 games.

The record against Southampton is quite favorable for the Red Devils since they haven't lost any of their last 12 games, 6 wins, and 6 draws. Furthermore, the last home game last season ended with a 9-0 rout.

United needs to reconcile the lack of regular player and striker Greenwood who is unavailable for this duel. Defender Alex Telles and midfielder Fred de Paula remain sidelined due to Covid-19. Fred still has a small chance of joining the team this Saturday.

Southampton will be a pain in the ass for the hosts today as the team has been performing very well tactically and they arrive motivated after a good victory on the road by 3-2 against the good team of Tottenham. Before that, they beat Coventry in the FA Cup 2-1. Only 1 defeat in the last 9 games.

Currently, in 10th place with 28 points in 23 games, 6 wins, 10 draws and 7 losses, 29 goals scored and 36 conceded. Not far from the hosts, the visitors also struggle a lot to improve their defense since they haven't been able to keep any of the last 14 games clean. Also today they lose the main goalkeeper McCarthy by injury. Other regulars and players who are out are midfielder Nathan Redmond and midfielder Valentino Livramento. Midfielder Nathan Tella and defender Lyanco are also absent.

Although the visitors are performing well on the field, some absences can disrupt their game today. United at home has shown great strength and they should do everything to take advantage of this chance and climb 2 more positions on the table. They need to improve their position so that they can relax when the Champions League playoffs arrive, so I see them with good favoritism today to win.

My probable score here is 2-1 1-0Marco Antonio,

GL!

曼联在上周二1-1战平伯恩利后参加这场比赛，他们的防守体系仍然受到很大影响，在前9支英超球队中，他们是失球最多的球队，总共丢了31个球。然而，在过去的几个月里，球队的战术组织有了一定的改善，他们的防守也在不断进步。

今天的胜利可能会让球队排在第 4 位，现在仅落后第 4 名的西汉姆联 1 分。总体而言，球队23场比赛11胜6平6负，打进37球，丢31球。最近6场比赛只输了1场。

对阵南安普顿的战绩对红魔来说是相当有利的，因为他们在过去的 12 场比赛中没有输掉任何一场，6 胜 6 平。此外，上赛季最后一场主场比赛以9-0大胜收官。

曼联需要解决一些阵容的问题。后卫亚历克斯感染新冠病毒，泰勒斯和中场球员弗雷德·德保拉仍然缺阵。弗雷德本周六回归球队的机会仍然很小。

南安普顿今天对曼联来说也比较艰难，因为球队在战术上的表现非常好，在客场​​以 3-2 战胜热刺，他们充满动力。此前，他们在足总杯中2-1击败考文垂。最近9场比赛只输了1场。

目前，23场比赛6胜10平7负积28分排名第10，打进29球，丢36球。客队也很难提高他们的防守，因为他们在过去的 14 场比赛中都未能保持零封。同样在今天，他们缺少了主力门将麦卡锡。其他缺席的常规球员是中场球员内森雷德蒙德和中场球员瓦伦蒂诺利夫拉门托。中场内森·泰拉和后卫莱扬科也缺席。

虽然客队在场上表现不错，但这些缺席会扰乱他们今天的比赛。曼联在主场表现出了强大的实力，他们应该尽一切努力利用这个机会，在积分榜上再攀升 2 个位置。他们需要改善自己的位置，以便在欧冠淘汰赛到来时可以放松，所以我认为他们今天很偏向于获胜。

比分参考 2-1 1-0

祝好运
