Game Preview

Manchester United look unstoppable at the moment and are coming off their fourth straight win Thursday, when they dispatched Aston Villa by a comfortable 3-0 margin at Villa Park. The Red Devils have extended their undefeated streak in league play to 10 games and remain alive in the race for a 2020-21 UEFA Champions League berth, as they sit just one point behind Leicester City, who are in fourth place with four matches left in the schedule. Southampton are 12th with 44 points and do not have anything to play for but their honor, though they are also coming off a 1-1 draw at Everton, pushing their undefeated streak to three games (W2, D1) and losing just once in their last five (W3, D1, L1).

Top Picks

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United: Fernandes, who earned the Player of the Month Award for a second straight month, delivered another fantastic performance against Villa the last time out. He scored United's second goal with a penalty, and later set up the third from a corner. Fernandes now has five goals and three assists in five matches since the restart and remains one of the top performers in the Premier League.

Mason Greenwood, Manchester United: Greenwood started each of Manchester United's last four matches and has cracked the score-sheet in the last three, notching four goals and one assist during that span. He has also racked up 11 shots during that four-game stretch. He is, without a doubt, a must-start player given his recent form.

Captain and Vice-Captain Options

  1. Bruno Fernandes
  2. Mason Greenwood
  3. Anthony Martial
  4. Marcus Rashford
