The Premier League resumes today after the international break, kicking off with Manchester United visiting Southampton for the first match of the weekend.
Southampton has struggled since returning to the Premier League, suffering three consecutive defeats in their opening matches. Manager Russell Martin has remained committed to his strategy of building from the back, but a shift to a more pragmatic approach may be necessary as the team aims to secure vital points.
Erik ten Hag, the United manager, is facing pressure following two straight losses, including a disappointing defeat against rival Liverpool. Manchester United fans will hope their team can extend their strong record, having lost only one of their last 30 Premier League matches against newly-promoted teams.
The match is scheduled for Saturday, September 14, at St. Mary’s Stadium, with kickoff at 12:30 p.m. BST, which translates to 7:30 a.m. ET, 4:30 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 9:30 p.m. AEST in Australia.
There are various options for live TV streaming services to watch the game worldwide.
In the US, the match will be available on USA Network, accessible through cable subscriptions, the NBC Sports website with valid account details, or streaming services like Sling TV.
For viewers unable to access EPL matches locally, using a VPN can facilitate streaming by allowing users to change their virtual location. A VPN also provides privacy and prevents internet service providers from throttling speeds during game time. It’s essential to ensure the VPN is set up to prevent any potential leaks that may violate streaming service policies.
