Prediction
Saints will be flying out the blocks here after their midweek win and United, while starting well at Burnley, may allow doubt to creep into their game if Hasenhuttl’s men can get on top. It’ll be fascinating to see if Broja can pin Maguire in what could be a decisive head-to-head battle. We’ll go for a score draw here, 1-1.
