Manchester United vs Southampton

Ten Hag makes two changes to the United side which started Thursday's win over Betis – as well as last week's rout at Liverpool. Fred and Dalot are the men to make way, with Wan-Bissaka coming in for his 100th Premier League appearance for United at right-back. The other player brought in is Sancho, with Fernandes likely to occupy a deeper position alongside Casemiro.

Southampton, meanwhile, are in desperate need of points after seeing several fellow relegation candidates earn results on Saturday. Ruben Selles' team are bottom and three points behind 17th-placed Bournemouth after the Cherries' shock victory over Liverpool. Saints did claim a vital 1-0 win over Leicester City last time out – their second in three league games under Selles – so perhaps they should not be written off just yet.

United responded to their humiliating 7-0 defeat at Liverpool in fine fashion on Thursday, hammering Real Betis 4-1 to claim the advantage in their Europa League last-16 tie. Erik ten Hag's men turn their attentions back to league action here, knowing a win over Saints would take them four points clear of fourth-placed Tottenham – and seven ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool.
