Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Southampton in the Premier League today.

Manchester United made two changes for Sunday’s Premier League match against rock-bottom Southampton. Jadon Sancho and Aaron Wan-Bissaka came in for Fred and Diogo Dalot following Thursday’s 4-1 win against Real Betis in the Europa League.

Charly Alcaraz was passed fit to start for Southampton, who made one alteration as Romain Perraud replaced Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

United find space on the break as Wan-Bissaka underlaps Antony. The Brazilian finds him with a well-weighted ball in behind, but his cut-back deflects into the arms of Bazunu.

It's an intriguing United set-up today. Weghorst appears to be leading the line, with Sancho in the number 10 role and Rashford moving out to the left. Fernandes is sitting deeper alongside Casemiro – he will need to be more disciplined today than he was at Anfield!

United have not lost consecutive league games since a run of four defeats on the spin between May and August last year, which took in the end of last season as well as the start of this term. Will they get their league campaign back on track after last week's chastening trip to Anfield? We're about to find out, kick-off is moments away!
