REDICTION: Saints and United share the points, 1-1.
FANTASY PICK: Sadio Mane
KEY STAT: Southampton have been solid at home; winning five and losing just one of their last seven PL games at St Mary's Stadium. Manchester United have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last seven league games against the Saints.
- SOUTHAMPTON
Manager Ronald Koeman could recall forward Sadio Mane for the visit of Manchester United on Sunday. Mane missed last week's 0-0 draw at West Brom when, according to the manager, he was unfit to do so after returning late from international duty. Koeman, however, remains without the injured Fraser Forster, Ryan Bertrand, Jordy Clasie and Florin Gardos. Bertrand and Clasie could return within the next two weeks.
- MAN UNITED
Captain Wayne Rooney has overcome a hamstring injury and is available. Left-back Luke Shaw is out after breaking his leg in two places during United's 2-1 defeat to PSV on Tuesday. Centre-back Phil Jones has recovered from thrombosis but still lacks match fitness so will not feature at St Mary's. |
