What to expect from Southampton and Manchester United.
Things could be returning to normalcy for England’s most successful club.
After four disappointing, uncharacteristic seasons of finishes in seventh, fourth, fifth and sixth, Manchester United is back atop the Premier League.
However, their noisy, blue neighbors are right there with them with 13 points and a plus-14 goal differential.
New signing Romelu Lukaku is tied with Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero for the league lead with five goals while Anthony Martial has chipped in three.
United hasn’t lost a game since Aug. 8, which was a 2-1 Super Cup defeat to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Southampton has had a rather inconsistent start to the campaign with eight points in five matches. Wins against Crystal Palace and West Ham have been combatted with a loss to Watford and draws to Huddersfield and Swansea.
