John Bednarek scores for Southampton
Southampton host Manchester United this afternoon at St Mary’s Stadium in the Premier League. The Saints are flying high this season, sitting in fifth place with the chance to climb second behind Liverpool, at least until Chelsea and Tottenham play today. United are in 13th place, needing the impetus to win badly here.
It will not be an easy feat against a Southampton team to be unbeaten in seven league games. Like defenders Aaron van-Pisaga and Victor Lindelof, United have the motivation of Marcus Rashford, who is expected to pass the fitness test for the game, but Luke Shaw is out of Ole Gunner Soulscager. Southampton are still without leading man Danny Inkes, so Theo Walcott is set to continue to attack alongside side striker Che Adams despite a broken wrist.
