Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Manchester United vs Southampton
Manchester United are preparing to host Southampton in the Premier League on Tuesday, February 2. The Red Devils will be looking to celebrate a victory as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Sheffield United and played a goalless draw with Arsenal.
Currently, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are second in the league table with 3 points behind leaders Manchester City, who have played one game less.
Meanwhile, Southampton, who are 11th in the league, suffered two defeats in a row as they lost against Arsenal and Aston Villa in their recent Premier League games.
Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction.
"It's not been a great few days for Manchester United, who lost at home to Sheffield United and then were held by Arsenal.
"Southampton were unlucky not to get anything against Aston Villa on Saturday, when they created enough chances to get at least a point but the big decisions did not go their way.
"When they met at St Mary's earlier in the season, it was a real thriller with United coming back from 2-0 down to win 3-2.
"I'm at Old Trafford for 5 Live for this one, and this time I am expecting the same outcome, but in more straightforward fashion."
Lawrenson's score prediction: 2-0
