2nd position in the Premier League table for Manchester United so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 11th-placed Southampton visits Old Trafford.
- Manchester United has the most points from losing position (21) in Premier League
- Southampton has the most dropped points from leading position (13) in Premier League
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Manchester United form and stats
Manchester United have played 10 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-4 (wins-draws-losses).
Manchester drew their last game, 0-0 away at Arsenal (placed 9th). Ahead of that match, Manchester lost 1-2 at home to Sheffield United.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League game versus Everton in only four days. This game is also played here at Old Trafford.
The Manchester fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
Southampton form and stats
3-4-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Southampton in their Premier League matches away. Three has not been a lucky number for Southampton as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Liverpool match.
Home advantage was not enough for Southampton in their previous game, as they lost their Premier League-match, hosting Aston Villa, 0-1. A 1-3 loss hosting Arsenal before that.
The schedule is very tough for Southampton now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Newcastle United is waiting in only four days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Southampton have scored 12 goals in 9 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 12 goals have been conceded by Southampton in these games.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Southampton - Manchester United 2-3. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Manchester, five draws and zero wins for Southampton. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
