PREDICTED LINEUPS AND PREDICTION

Manchester United

David De Gea, Antonio Valencia, Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly, Daley Blind, Michael Carrick, Ander Herrera, Paul Pogba, Juan Mata, Anthony Martial, Zlatan Ibrahimović

Southampton

Fraser Forster, Cedric Soares, Jack Stephens, Maya Yoshida, Ryan Bertrand, Oriol Romeu, Steven Davis, James Ward-Prowse, Dusan Tadic, Nathan Redmond, Manolo Gabbiadini

Manchester United take the win for me. United have been showing signs of improvement under Mourinho and that is evident with this long unbeaten run which they have enjoyed. With the likes of Ibra, Mata, Martial and Pogba leading the attack, it is very difficult to favour the team defending against them.

Full Time prediction:

Manchester United 3-1 Southampton
