Manchester United will look to bounce back from their draw against Burnley and break into the top four this weekend, as they host Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.
A frustrating 1-1 draw away to Burnley on Tuesday night saw United miss out on a chance to break into the top four and open a gap between themselves and West Ham in the Premier League table, in a game where the Reds saw two first-half goals ruled out by VAR.
With the draw immediately following United's early exit from the FA Cup to Middlesborough just four days prior, Ralf Rangnick's side will now have the chance to redeem themselves against an in-form Southampton.
The Saints have earned four points in their last two games against Man City and Spurs, with Ralph Hassenhuttl's side drawing 1-1 with City and coming from two goals behind to beat Spurs 3-2. Eric Bailly, Nemanja Matic and Fred are all ruled out of Saturday's clash at Old Trafford, with the latter still in isolation having tested positive for Covid-19.
Alex Telles could return to the squad after his isolation period came to an end, whilst Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to be brought back into the starting XI after dropping to the bench against Burnley.
So, what line-ups will both teams select? And, what could the final score be?
We used FIFA 22 to get a score prediction for United vs Southampton on Saturday and this is what happened...
We used kick-off mode in FIFA 22, but didn't select a team to control, we then selected the teams and watched the match play out by itself, to give us a score prediction.
We predict that United could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Telles; Fernandes, McTominay, Pogba; Rashford, Ronaldo, Sancho.
