Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Buoyed by the FA Cup win over Arsenal, Manchester United will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Southampton in the Premier League round 21. The Red Devils will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the league, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Wing-back Diogo Dalot serves a one-game ban following his sending-off in the Emirates Stadium showdown, while winger Amat Diallo is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
All Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, and Mason Mount continue to miss out with injuries for the home team. Southampton, on the other hand, recorded a routine 3-0 win over Swansea City in the FA Cup round 3, but given their poor away record in the 2024/2025 Premier League campaign, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Ruben Amorim’s troops. Jack Stephens and Ross Stewart should be the only absentees in the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Bruno Fernandes):
Bruno Fernandes is a Portuguese footballer who used to play for Novara before joining Udinese in a co-ownership deal in the summer of 2013. The Portuguese midfielder scored his first goal for the club in a 3-3 draw with Napoli on 7 December, 2013.
Three years later he signed a deal with Sampdoria for a fee of €7 million. Fernandes moved to Sampdoria in order to replace Roberto who reinforced Villarreal. Soriano He played 33 games for the Zebrette in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign, scoring three goals for the club, while providing four assists for his teammates.
Fernandes is a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as a secondary striker as well. He was born in Maia, Portugal on 8 September, 1994 and he began his youth career at Infesta. Fernandes has seven caps for Portugal U21 team and he has played 4 matches for the U23 team.
Highlighted Team (Southampton):
Southampton are an English football club that have been playing their home games at St Mary's Stadium since 2001. The Saints were based at The Dell in the past and the capacity of Southampton’s new stadium is 32,505. Southampton wear red and white striped shirts and the colour of the team’s away kit is navy and green.
The Saints have yet to win the Premier League trophy, but they did well to clinch the FA Cup title back in 1976, while participating in the final of the prestigious competition in 1900, 1902 and 2003. Southampton outplayed Manchester United in the 1976 FA Cup final and that is probably the club’s greatest victory ever.
The club are well known for their football academy and Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale is one of the players who began their football carrier at the St. Mary’s Stadium outfit. Southampton’s fiercest rivals are Portsmouth and the two teams square off against each other in the South Coast Derby.
