Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Southampton and Manchester United at St Mary's. The Red Devils will be hoping to put their Champions League woes behind them by grabbing a victory that would see them move up to second, just two points behind leaders Manchester City. Of course, Southampton will have other ideas and Ronald Koeman's men will be targeting a second successive league success at home that would propel them into the top half of the table following an unspectacular start to the new campaign.
