Manchester United welcome Southampton to Old Trafford in the opening match of the 25th round of the Premier League. The Red Devils are sixth on the table with 39 points and they will try to return to the winning paths. The fans should be satisfy with the latest results, particularly because Tottenham suffered a home defeat on Wednesday. But it is a concerning fact as they lost 3:2 exactly to Southampton. Nevertheless, United are in solid form in the last period. They managed to win two of the last three matches in the Premier League, beating Brentford 3:1 away and West Ham 1:0 at Old Trafford. In the last round they dropped two important points against the bottom-placed Burnley at Turf Moor. In addition, they suffered a painful elimination from Middlesbrough in the FA Cup. The Champions League is now their only realistic chance of silverware this season. Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has some concerns ahead of this match. Eric Bailly is rated as doubtful, with the Ivory Coast international returning from Africa Cup of Nations duty with a swollen ankle. There are question marks about Fred and Alex Telles as they are recovering from COVID-19 infection. Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to start from the first minute together with 18-year-old junior Anthony Elanga. Mason Greenwood remain suspended.
Southampton made a huge surprise in the last round as they beat Tottenham, but their situation remain unchanged - with 28 points, they are not in position to challenge for Europe, but at the same time they are out of relegation dogfight. The league form is good, one win and one draw on the last two matches in the Premier League. The Saints shared the points with the leaders Manchester City and won against Tottenham. Kyle Walker-Peters was the scorer against the reigning champions at St Mary's before the international break. Hasenhuttl's men were brave and played an impressive 1:1 draw against the best side in the league. On Wednesday they beat Tottenham in London. Jan Bednarek's own goal and Armando Broja's finish saw the two sides level after the first 45 minutes. However, headers from Mohamed Elyounoussi and Che Adams sunk the Spurs in the finish of the match. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, while the players confidence is very high. Hasenhuttl will be without defender Lyanco after he suffered a serious injury against Coventry in the FA Cup. Moussa Djenepo is back from the Africa Cup of Nations, but goalkeeper Alex McCarthy remains sidelined. Finally, Nathan Redmond and Nathan Tella is likely miss the game.
Manchester United vs Southampton Prediction:
I expect both teams to score here. Southampton have scored on the last nine matches across all competitions. Even more, they also conceded on each of those nine fixtures. Manchester United are in must win position, so they will attack from the very first minute. There should be goals at Old Trafford.

Burnley welcome Liverpool to Turf Moor in the most interesting match of the Premier League this weekend. The Clarets are on the last place with only 14 points and the situation is almost critical. Manager Sean Dyche is under big pressure, as well as the players. However, nothing is lost, they are four points away from the 17th-placed Newcastle. In addition, Burnley have games in hand on Newcastle, Watford and Norwich, so the situation could change easily. But the departure of Chris Wood could be a problem. Wood, who was the team second scorer with three goals, joined Newcastle United. Wout Weghorst, who arrived from Wolfsburg, will try to replace him. The actual form is not bad at all, Burnley are unbeaten on the last three matches in the Premier League. Two of those three matches were against Champions League pretenders Arsenal and Manchester United, while the third draw came against Watford. Dyche has some worries ahead of this match as Matej Vydra and Johann Berg Gudmundsson remain out, while Max Cornet is rated as doubtful after suffering a thigh injury against Man United. Charlie Taylor is closing in on a return from an ankle injury.
Liverpool are looking for the fourth consecutive Premier League victory. In the previous period they managed to beat Brentford, Crystal Palace and Leicester City. New acquisition Luis Diaz, who came from Porto, impressed on his league debut against the Foxes. Diaz is hoping to keep the starting place, but the return of Sadio Mane from the Africa Cup of Nations creates "sweet problems" for Klopp. The established attacking trio of Salah, Firmino and Mane was irreplaceable for nearly five years now, but Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz performances against Leicester could provoke some changes. The Reds are in good run, but the away form isn't at highest level. Liverpool have just one win on the last four away matches in the Premier League. Dropping seven points heavily corrupt their champions ambitions. The Merseysiders won the last fixture against Crystal Palace, but showed weaknesses in the second half. Klopp has the majority of the players ready, but captain Jordan Henderson is doubtful with a back injury. It would not be surprising to see Klopp make a couple of alterations ahead of Wednesday's Champions League fixture with Inter in Italy. Maybe some of his key players will be rested.
Burnley vs Liverpool Prediction:
I think Burnley are able to remain competitive in this match. They already upset Manchester United on Tuesday night, so the players confidence is higher. The Clarets are unbeaten on the last three matches in the Premier League. The home advantage should also be mentioned. Burnley are unbeaten in six Premier League home fixtures, while Liverpool have just one win on the last four away matches. Burnley could cover the handicap.
