Southampton vs Manchester United

Our Bet Builder selections: Man Utd to win, over 2.5 goals, Garnacho to score and Fernandes to be booked

Here's why we've made those selections:

  • Man Utd to win: Erik ten Hag needs a reaction from his side and what better chance to get it than against a struggling Saints side. Southampton haven't looked threatening at all so far and United getting some of their injured players back after the break should be too much.
  • Over 2.5 goals: Two of United's three games have had over 2.5 goals, with four scored in Saints' last game at Brentford. There's goals in United going forward but they're still unconvincing defensively.
  • Garnacho to score: Set to come good and only had first start of season against Liverpool last time out. Should get more of the ball here and United's biggest attacking threat.
  • Fernandes to be carded: Booked on international break and can find himself hot-headed at times, particularly if things don't quite go United's way in spells.
