Manchester United will look to end their two-game losing streak when they travel to face 19th-placed Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.
Erik ten Hag's side have had a far-from-ideal start to this year's campaign, losing two of their first three games. In their last game, they lost 3-0 to fierce rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Southampton have lost all of their games since returning to the Premier League. They suffered a 3-1 defeat to Brentford away from home in their last outing.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Southampton vs. Man United lineups, team news
Southampton lost all three of their opening league games of the season, but there's a strong argument that Russell Martin's side deserved more. They had possessional dominance against Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest and Brentford, only to be undone by a lack of clinical finishing.
That means Martin will probably resist the urge to tinker much with his lineup. Indeed, he could stick with a unchanged side from the 3-1 loss to Brentford, with Aaron Ramsdale in line for a home debut.
Southampton predicted XI (3-5-2, right to left): Ramsdale (GK) — Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stephens — Sugawara, Smallbone, Downes, Aribo, Waker-Peters — Armstrong, Brereton Diaz
Injured: Gavin Bazunu
Suspended: None
United captain Bruno Fernandes took a knock to his foot during the international break but insisted it was a minor concern. He will likely start in attack alongside Joshua Zirkzee given Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount are sidelined.
Manuel Ugarte will hope to make his debut from the start in midfield, perhaps in place of the under-fire Casemiro, unless Ten Hag decides to give Kobbie Mainoo a break. Amad Diallo should come back into the lineup after being a substitute for the loss to Liverpool.
Man United predicted XI (4-2-2-2, right to left): Onana (GK) — Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot — Ugarte, Mainoo — Rashford, Amad — Fernandes, Zirkzee
Injured: Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Bruno Fernandes (doubt)
Suspended: None
Southampton vs. Man United Prediction
Manchester United enter this match with history on their side. The Red Devils are on a 14-match unbeaten streak against Southampton, last losing to them in 2016.
Both sides have had a far-from-ideal start to their campaigns. The game won't be as clear cut as it has been previously for Manchester United, however, despite their erratic form they should defeat Southampton to get their second win of the season.
- Prediction: Southampton 1-3 Manchester United
