At first glance, Manchester United’s welcoming Southampton in on Saturday looks like a very one-sided match in favor of the hosts; at least on paper. However, looking at the recent series tells a very different story. United have won only one of their five Premier League home games against Southampton since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, and the reverse fixture was a very ugly 2-2 draw on the first Saturday of this past December.

Of course, things have changed a lot since that first meeting between these two sides this season. Under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, United have yet to lose in any of their dozen Premier League contests.

Arsenal FC Starting XI Prediction at Tottenham Hotspur FC

February 28, 2019 By Leave a Comment

Unai Emery’s first north London derby, a very entertaining game to watch, ended in a glorious 4-2 triumph. The Arsenal boss hopes to see his team duplicate that effort on Saturday in the reverse fixture. The Gunners will come into Wembley Stadium brimming with confidence, having just routed AFC Bournemouth 5-1 last night.

However, this is the beauty of this time of year- win, lose or draw, momentum is only as strong as the very next result.

February 28, 2019 By Leave a Comment

With a 3-1 win at Crystal Palace tonight, Manchester United has now accomplished something that never have before- eight straight wins away from home across all competitions. Whether or not Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gets the managerial job permanently at the end of the season, he has a place in the record book that no other Red Devils boss has; not even Sir Alex Ferguson or Sir Matt Busby.

United got there thanks largely to a brace (33′, 52′) from striker Romelu Lukaku, who made the most of an opportunity to be the hero while the team was suffering from an injury crisis in both attack and midfield.
