Our prediction: Southampton v Man Utd

Southampton have a track record of capitulations in the Premier League having conceded nine goals on two separate occasions under Hassenhuttl.

That stat may have become a cliche for commentators and writers across the land, but it does underline an issue that keeps coming back to haunt the Saints. They lack steel.

United will head to St Mary's smelling blood, knowing they could roll up and dominate. Fernandes, Pogba, Greenwood could be joined by Sancho, and that spells doom for Southampton.

Our prediction: Southampton 0-3 Man Utd (12/1 at bet365)
