Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Southampton in the Premier League today.

Manchester United made two changes for Sunday’s Premier League match against rock-bottom Southampton. Jadon Sancho and Aaron Wan-Bissaka came in for Fred and Diogo Dalot following Thursday’s 4-1 win against Real Betis in the Europa League.

Charly Alcaraz was passed fit to start for Southampton, who made one alteration as Romain Perraud replaced Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Southampton are the only team to have won more than half of their Premier League points in away games so far this season, with 12 of their 21 points coming on the road before today (57 per cent). Are they about to add another to their collection – or maybe even three?

Garnacho was struggling to put any weight on his right foot a moment ago, but he's back on, albeit not moving freely. United had Fred stripped and ready to replace him if needed, but he looks like he will attempt to continue.

With Garnacho still off the pitch for treatment, United take the corner. It's cleared as far as Wan-Bissaka, who sees his shot blocked.

Garnacho has stayed down after that challenge, with his right foot appearing to get caught between Walker-Peters' legs. The challenge was a fair one, but the United man is in some discomfort and needs treatment.

Garnacho runs at Walker-Peters in the Southampton area, and the full-back makes a huge challenge to fell the United man and send the ball away for a corner. He's been excellent in this game.
