Manchester United seemed to have found a rhythm but the trip to neighbours Manchester City brought an end to their mini-revival as the Red Devils failed to win at home against Crystal Palace and had to toil hard to win their match against Young Boys at home in the weekday, after the Red Devils had comprehensively beaten the Swiss side 3-0 in Bern.
Southampton situation this season has been by far one of the worst with the Saints winning a total of just 3 matches the whole season. The Saints have won just one of their Premier League matches with a victory over Crystal Palace coming on the 1st of September.
