Match Preview
Man United’s performance levels have improved in recent weeks, with Amorim’s side showing great character in recent matches against Liverpool and Arsenal. United were last in action against the Gunners on Sunday, producing an excellent defensive effort to ultimately overcome Mikel Arteta’s side following a penalty shootout.
Southampton will be huge underdogs in this clash on Thursday. The Saints remain at the foot of the Premier League standings after winning just once in 20 league matches this season. Furthermore, they come into this round after losing three on the bounce. Southampton are currently the lowest scorers in the Premier League, while they have also conceded the second-most goals.

Man United boast an excellent head-to-head record against the Saints, as they have gone 15 without defeat against the Saints since a 1-0 loss at Old Trafford in January 2016. However, over that period eight matches between the clubs have ended in draws. Meanwhile, Southampton have lost on just three of their last ten trips to the Theatre of Dreams since losing 13 from 14 before the start of this sequence.
Home performances have been a concern for United throughout the season, evidenced by the fact that they have lost three on the bounce at Old Trafford. However, United haven’t lost four home matches in succession since February 1934.
Southampton’s winless away record is also worth consideration this week, as the Saints have gone 17 without a win on the road in the Premier League.
Man United vs. Southampton Picks
This Thursday’s showdown gives United the perfect opportunity to follow up on recent strong efforts against Liverpool and Arsenal. It is incredibly hard to overlook the prospect of a home win, especially considering Southampton’s poor record on their travels in the Premier League.
