Manchester United will be eager to get back to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Southampton to Old Trafford. The Sunday evening contest will be heavily in favour of the home side. Not only that United have an exceptional home record this season but they will also be keen to prove a point following their disastrous 7-0 loss to Liverpool in their last Premier League game. Hence, the Reds’ supporters will be hoping to see a response, something similar to what they showed on Thursday night.

A defeat against Liverpool at Anfield is not exactly a bad thing for any side. However, the manner in which Manchester United lost that game got the alarm bells ringing. No one expected Erik ten Hag’s side to concede six second half goals and lose the game 7-0 in the end. It could prove to be a wake-up call for United, who are still very much in the hunt for trophies on multiple fronts. To their credit, Man United bounced back from that setback with an impressive 4-1 victory over Real Betis in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16.

Despite beating Leicester City in their last match, Southampton are still sitting in and around the bottom spot. They would require few quick victories to climb out of the dreaded relegation zone. Meanwhile, Manchester United still retain the third spot in the league standings with 49 points from 25 games. They would be keen to hold on to that position on Sunday.
