Morale-boosting draws and much improved performances have brought a renewed sense of hope to Man Utd. After three defeats in a row, the Red Devils drew 2-2 with leaders Liverpool (and probably should've won), then knocked Arsenal out of the FA Cup at the weekend thanks to a nerveless penalty shootout. It's been an inconsistent start to life under Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford, but Amad Diallo continues to shine, while captain Bruno Fernandes scored a fine goal at the Gunners at the weekend. They sit 14th.

Increasingly cut adrift at the foot of the table, Southampton must start picking up wins soon. Just one Premier League victory all season isn't going to cut it, with the recent 5-0 shellacking at Brentford a lesson in the harsh realities of the top flight. The Saints did, though, manage a first win under new boss Ivan Juric at the weekend, beating Swansea 3-0 as Kamaldeen Sulemana ended a 37-game run without a goal. They have history of getting one over United – think Matt Le Tissier and half-time shirt swaps in the 1990s – can they do so again to start the great escape?

Tune in to find out who comes out on top today, plus make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.
