Published on: Nov 29, 2020 3:25 pm IST|Updated on: Nov 29, 2020 3:25 pm IST
SOU vs MUN Dream11 Team: Manchester United travel down south to the Saint Mary’s Stadium to take on Southampton in the Premier League. Southampton proudly sits in 5th place, having lost just 2 games all season. They started the campaign with 3 successive losses and an embarrassing 5-2 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur was a turning point in their season and they are unbeaten since then, a span of 7 games. In that time, they have faced Chelsea, Everton and Wolves and yet came out unscathed. Manchester United, meanwhile, is having a roller-coaster of a season, from highs of beating Paris Saint-Germain away from home and thrashing RB Leipzig 5-0, to the lows of losing 6-1 at home to Spurs. At the time of writing, they sit in 12th place but have won their last 3 fixtures which will be crucial going into this game. Ralph Hasenhuttl bothered Man United last season too and will look to do it again this time.

Doubtful: Mohammed Salisu is doubtful and is unlikely to start the SOU vs MUN Dream 11 Prediction.
Expected changes: Hasenhuttl wouldn’t want to change a working formula and is likely to start with the same lineup. Theo Walcott and Che Adams will lead the line in the absence of Danny Ings, starting in front of Stuart Armstrong, James Ward-Prowse, Oriol Romeu and Moussa Djenepo.

B) Manchester United Team News
Injury Report, Unavailability: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay did not train and are “very unlikely” to feature in the game. Luke Shaw, Jesse Lingard and Eric Bailly continue to serve on the sidelines.
Doubtful: Victor Lindelof, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Marcus Rashford picked up knocks against Istanbul Basaksehir and are doubts for this game. With the PSG game coming up, they may be given a rest.

Alex Telles will continue to occupy the left-back spot and make it his own. Anthony Martial may move to the left-flank with Edinson Cavani playing centrally and Mason Greenwood starting on the right.

SOU vs MUN Today Match Prediction: Despite their patchy form in comparison to Southampton’s run, bookies are tipping Manchester United to win with Bet365 and SkyBet placing their win at 19/20. The home team are 27/10 and 11/4 by the same bookies respectively but it won’t be as straightforward for Man United in the SOU vs MUN Today Match Prediction. The Red Devils have known to make life difficult themselves and were far from convincing against lowly West Bromwich Albion last weekend. Southampton has done a great job to keep Chelsea, Everton and Wolves at bay. Ralph Hasenhuttl is a very good tactician and will look to use home advantage and his extra days of rest to their advantage.
