Predicted opposition XI: Manchester United (H)

Southampton play host to joint-Premier League leaders Manchester United.

The Red Devils share their lead with their Manchester counterparts, Man City, who are both drawn on every single goal stat so far.

Jose Mourinho’s side have only conceded two goals so far this season, whilst scoring 16 at the other end, meaning it will be a very tough game for the Saints to cope with at both ends.

Southampton will be coming off the back of a solid display against Crystal Palace, after Steven Davis scored early on to see out a 1-0 win against the struggling Eagles.

The Saints will also be confident because of new signing Mario Lemina, who had an outstanding game against Palace last week, and will be trying to keep the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial at bay.

Ahead of this tough game for the Saints, here is my predicted team for Man United:
