Southampton v Man Utd team news: Ronaldo and Casemiro subs

789 Comments

Gameweek 4 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) begins with the clash between Southampton and Manchester United.

Kick-off at St Mary’s is at 12:30 BST.

These are two teams who largely struggled in the opening two Gameweeks before getting their first wins of the season last weekend.

Partly as a result of those victories, there is only one change to the starting XIs across the two sides.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has made it and it’s a predictable one, with Che Adams – scorer of four goals in league and cup over the last week – in for Sekou Mara.

Erik ten Hag’s decision to go with an unchanged line-up means that it’s another benching for Cristiano Ronaldo, with the United boss again opting for a front three of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Elanga.

Anthony Martial, as reported yesterday, misses out due to injury, while new signing Casemiro is on the bench.

GAMEWEEK 4 LINE-UPS

Southampton XI: Bazunu, Djenepo, Salisu, Bella-Kotchap, Walker-Peters, Lavia, Ward-Prowse, A Armstrong, Elyounoussi, Aribo, Adams.

Subs: McCarthy, Lyanco, Bednarek, Valery, Romeu, S Armstrong, Diallo, Perraud, Mara.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Malacia, Martinez, Varane, Dalot, McTominay, Eriksen, Sancho, Fernandes, Elanga, Rashford.

Subs: Heaton, Maguire, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Fred, Casemiro, Van de Beek, Ronaldo, Garnacho.

      Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling continue in attack, while Thomas Tuchel has paired Conor Gallagher with Jorginho in midfield once again and opted for Marc Cucurella and Ruben Loftus-Cheek as his wing-backs.

      The Fifth Stand (Chelsea app) says:

      "[Chalobah] is expected to play in the back three alongside Reece James and Thiago Silva."

      "[Tuchel has...] opted for Marc Cucurella and Ruben Loftus-Cheek as his wing-backs"

      Will note it does say EXPECTED, but I agree it could be or shift to a back four too.

              A clean sheet against a team that is almost incapable of scoring a goal, magnificent.

                  no point arguing with ABU's mate they live in another reality. You need a certain personality to be so bitter about someone's team

                Pointless arguing with UTD fans mate. I gave up years ago. They live in another reality . You need a certain personality trait to support them

                  Positive united fans are delusional, they are not seeing the reality which is in front of them, United should be one of the best teams in the world, but they are an average team with a lot of under preforming talented players.

                    I don't agree at all - we are a club in a massive mess with terrible ownership but it doesn't mean we don't feel good when our team wins - why does it bother you so much?

                      Why blame them wonderful Glazier boys ? Maybe look at the players . You have spent a fortune. A lot more than other clubs . Your lots problem is you think you have a right to success. Well your time is long over. Acceptance is the final stage. You will get there
