Team news
Donny van de Beek starts a Premier League match for the first time, although it is not entirely clear where he will play: United’s formation could be 4-2-3-1 or a diamond. I suspect the latter. Either way, Marcus Rashford will be at the helm in the absence of Anthony Martial, who fell ill overnight.
Southampton is unchanged from the team that drew at Wolves on Monday.
Southampton (4-2-2-2) McCarthy; Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Bertrand; Ward-Prowse, Romeu; Armstrong, Djenepo; Walcott, Adams.
Substitutes: Forster, Stephens, Diallo, Tella, Long, Obafemi, N’Lundulu.
Manchester United (possible 4-D-2) De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles; Matic; Fred, van de Beek; Fernandes; Greenwood, Rashford.
Substitutes: Henderson, Fosu-Mensah, Williams, Tuanzebe, Mata, James, Cavani.
Referee Jon Moss.

Preamble
Hi. Even when Manchester United were the best team in England, Southampton were an uncomfortable opponent. They pulled United out of the FA Cup in 1992 and defeated them at Dell for three consecutive seasons from 1995 to 1998. In the post-Ferguson era, they have been even more difficult. United have won just six of 15 games against Southampton in that time, and three of those wins were an affront to the game’s progress.
This should be a really interesting match. Styles make fights, and Southampton’s high-energy, high-pressure game has given United a lot of trouble since Ralph Hasenhuttl took over as coach. But they don’t have their best player, Danny Ings, so it’s not the worst time to play against Southampton. And it’s at St Mary’s, which suits Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side – they’ve won their last seven away matches in the Premier League.
It is difficult to know if it is a good time to play against United, because you never know which version will appear. When they are good, they are very, very good, but when they are bad …
Kick off 2 pm.
