The fourth round of the EPL will feature a match between Southampton and Manchester United on 14 September. Ten Hag’s team faces numerous challenges at the beginning of the season.
In four matches at the start of the season, MU had only one victory—not the most confident 1-0 with Fulham. In other confrontations, the team suffered setbacks. And if in the matches with Man City in the Super Cup (1:2) and Brighton in the EPL (1:2) the aspiration of ten Hague’s wards and their readiness to go forward were visible, then in the third round, the situation was different.
The true challenge happened at MU in the last round. The club did not succeed in this challenge, losing 0:3 to Liverpool. The team was utterly defeated. The Reds anticipated their opponent’s careful and counterattacking style of play, denying them any space on the pitch. The primary obstacle for United now is not the team’s chemistry. Therefore, in defence, de Ligt and Mazraoui have not had sufficient time to integrate.
Southampton achieved results identical to those of their opponents in the first four games of the season, recording three losses and one victory. The victory occurred at the ‘saints’ rather than in the EPL, specifically in the League Cup, with a score of 5:3 against Cardiff. However, in all three rounds of the Premier League, the team suffered significant defeats. During this period, they did not always face strong opponents – suffering a 0:1 defeat against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, along with a 1:3 loss to Brentford. In every meeting, Southampton found themselves in a position to contend for points.
