Game Preview
On Saturday, Man United take a trip to Mary Stadium to kick off the 4th match of their 2022-23 Premier League campaign, which will be against Southampton. The Saints brought a merciful end to an eight-match winless streak last weekend with a victory from behind against Leicester City. Southampton managed to follow up that rut-buster with a breezy EFL Cup win against third-tier Cambridge United on Tuesday.
Man United leapfrogged Liverpool in the embryonic league table with a surprisingly impressive display against their fierce rivals, escaping the red mist to send Jurgen Klopp’s side into an obligatory crisis. At Manchester United, things look much simpler after recent developments. The CB pairing of Varane with Martinez looks set to continue. Lisandro Martinez’s playing style is becoming more suited to PL every game. On another note, Facundo Pellistri is expected to be sidelined with an ankle injury until September.
On the other hand, since a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford in January 2016, the Saints are winless in their last 12 top-flight clashes against Man United, though both their league meetings in 2021/22 yielded the same 1-1 score. On top of that, Hasenhuttl’s men have suffered five defeats in their last seven Premier League home matches, conceding two or more goals six times in this run. Also, Romain Perraud is nursing a groin problem which is more serious than Southampton’s medical staff first thought.
In the reactive world of modern football, both of these clubs have seemingly pivoted away from catastrophe after just one Premier League win. How they follow up that mood-changing victory is almost as important. A derby under the Old Trafford lights is an altogether different setting to the infamous Saturday lunchtime slot away from home. It will be a testament to Ten Hag if he can inspire Manchester United to an improvement upon the 1-1 scoreline which played out each time these clubs met last season.
