Manchester United will return again for the Premier League clash today (Saturday) against Southampton and this time they will be going away from home with the hope of returning to winning ways.

All thanks to Marouane Fellaini who helped the Red Devils secure a late win in the Champions League clash against Young Boys to boost the confidence of the team before the Southampton.

However, the Red Devils are expected to be without former Gunners forward Alexis Sanchez who picked up an injury ahead in the training and is expected to be out for a number of weeks.

The United boss Jose Mourinho had hinted that Diogo Dalot might be favoured for selection but there are no chances that he will start in the game but will probably come in from the bench.

Meanwhile, contract rebel David De Gea remains a Manchester United player and will definitely stand between the poles for the game.

In the defence, Phil Jones could continue alongside Chris Smalling with Victor Lindelof being unavailable as well as Ander Herrera, Matteo Darmian and Antonio Valencia who are all doubts for the game.

France international midfielder Paul Pogba could also line with Matic in front of the defence while Anthony Martial, Lingard and Mata should be seen as the attacking midfielders who will link up with Belgium Romelu Lukaku who could also lead the attack.

See full prediction:
(4-2-3-1) De Gea; Young, Smalling, Jones, Shaw; Matic, Pogba; Mata, Lingard, Martial; Lukaku.
