Both of these sides enjoyed poor starts to the new Premier League season that have improved in the past week. 

Manchester United picked up their first win (and first points) with a 2-1 victory over Liverpool last weekend — an impressive turnaround on their previous two games, which saw them lose to Brighton and Brentford. That suggests Erik ten Hag's revolution is starting to gain pace, and the team should also be buoyed by the arrival of new £70m signing Casemiro, who is on the bench today. 

Southampton, meanwhile, were awful in their first game against Tottenham, but have recovered since then to draw with Leeds and beat Leicester. They still look short of options in a few positions, particularly up front, but two goals from Che Adams last week at least pointed the way to a solution, and he starts here. 

Here's how they line up:

Southampton: Bazunu, Djenepo, Salisu, Bella-Kotchap, Walker-Peters, Lavia, Ward-Prowse, A Armstrong, Elyounoussi, Aribo, Adams.

Manchester United: De Gea, Malacia, Martinez, Varane, Dalot, McTominay, Eriksen, Sancho, Fernandes, Elanga, Rashford.

Will either side push on with a second successive victory here? Find out by watching a Southampton vs Man Utd live stream.

How to watch the Southampton vs Man Utd live stream wherever you are

The Southampton vs Man Utd live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long term.

Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
