How to follow United v Southampton
The dust has barely settled on Manchester United’s Europa League round-of-16 first leg against Real Betis, and we are just days away from our next match, a Premier League clash with Southampton at Old Trafford.
The Saints visit Manchester searching for a second win on the spin, while Erik ten Hag’s side will be eager to get back to winning ways in the league, following last weekend’s defeat away to Liverpool.
The Theatre of Dreams is the perfect place to do that, and ahead of Sunday’s fixture, here’s everything you need to know...

WHAT’S THE TEAM NEWS?
Marcel Sabitzer and Anthony Martial missed the 4-1 win over Real Betis, with the latter's hip problem being carefully managed at the moment. Christian Eriksen is still out with the ankle problem he suffered in January, while Donny van de Beek won't return until next season.
For the visitors, young full-backs Juan Larios and Tino Livramento are long-term absentees through injury, but midfielder Carlos Alcaraz, who recently suffered a knock to the knee after scoring the winner against Leicester, looks likely to return for Sunday’s clash at Old Trafford.

FORM GUIDE
United beat Real Betis 4-1 on Thursday evening, with goals from Marcus Rashford, Antony, Bruno Fernandes and Wout Weghorst helping provide the perfect response to Sunday's setback at Anfield.
Despite Southampton’s lowly league position, the south-coast side remain just one point away from Premier League safety.
The Saints defeated Leicester City at St Mary's last time out, thanks to Alcaraz's goal, and visit Old Trafford looking to record back-to-back wins for the first time in the league this season.
Back in August, United edged Southampton 1-0 in the reverse fixture, courtesy of a sublime Bruno Fernandes volley.
