The Premier League resumes today after the international break, with Manchester United heading to Hampshire to face Southampton in the opening match of the weekend.
Southampton has struggled significantly upon their return to the Premier League, suffering three straight defeats in their initial fixtures. Manager Russell Martin has maintained his strategy of playing from the back, but a more cautious approach could be necessary as the Saints seek their first points of the season.
Manchester United’s coach Erik ten Hag faces mounting pressure after back-to-back losses, including a disappointing defeat to their fierce rivals, Liverpool. United supporters hope their team can extend their excellent record of losing just one of their past 30 matches against newly-promoted sides.
The match between Southampton and Manchester United is scheduled for Saturday, September 14, at St. Mary’s Stadium, with kickoff set for 12:30 p.m. BST, which is 7:30 a.m. ET or 4:30 a.m. PT in the United States and Canada, and 9:30 p.m. AEST in Australia.
