class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>This fixture has produced plenty of goals in recent seasons and we are backing another open spectacle when they meet at Old Trafford on Tuesday
Manchester United welcome Southampton to Old Trafford on Tuesday evening as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men aim to get back to winning ways in the Premier League.
Saturday saw the Reds draw 0-0 with Arsenal, a result which came after a shock 2-1 home defeat at the hands of basement club Sheffield United, and the 20-time champions of England will be desperate for a win to recover the momentum which had briefly sent them to the top of the table.
Manchester United vs Southampton Latest Odds
The Saints head to the north-west of the country following three successive Premier League defeats, the most recent of which came on Saturday against Aston Villa.
Southampton have also failed to win any of their last nine matches against United and bet365 price them at 6/1 (7.00), with the hosts offered at 1/2 (1.50) and the draw 10/3 (4.33).
Manchester United vs Southampton Team News
The visitors have a number of players missing with Theo Walcott, Oriol Romeu, Ibrahima Diallo, Mohamed Salisu, Nathan Tella, Kyle Walker-Peters, Michael Obafemi, Will Smallbone and Jannik Vestergaard all out.
United still cannot call upon the services of Phil Jones, while Scott McTominay had to go off against Arsenal with stomach cramps and is being assessed.
Manchester United vs Southampton Preview
The 2-1 defeat by Sheffield United was the Reds’ fourth home league loss of the season and Old Trafford has been far from a fortress this term.
Despite their recent struggles in the top-flight, Southampton’s away form will lead them to believe they can get something out of the game, with the Saints losing just two of their last 14 league fixtures away from St Mary’s Stadium.
The most recent meeting between these two sides came on November 29 when Solskjaer’s team came from 2-0 down to win 3-2, while the last clash at Old Trafford in July ended in a 2-2 draw.
Southampton have scored in six of their last eight away league games, while United have scored in 13 of their last 16 league clashes in their own stadium, and backing another high-scoring encounter in midweek makes plenty of sense.
Manchester United vs Southampton Tips and Predictions
Both teams to score has paid out in each of the last five meetings between these two sides and a repeat is priced at 3/4 (1.75).
