MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Manchester United have won on three of their four trips to St Mary's, including a 2-1 win in May 2005 that ultimately relegated Southampton after a 27-year stay in the top flight.
There have been 92 goals scored in their 26 Premier League contests - an average of 3.5 goals per game.
The current Southampton squad has made a combined 233 Premier League appearances. Manchester United's quintet of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick and Rio Ferdinand have reached that figure individually.
Manchester United
This fixture is Sir Alex Ferguson's 1,000th league match as Manchester United manager. He has won 598, drawn 233 and lost 168 of the previous 999. His team have scored 1,863 goals and conceded 890 during his reign.
United are unbeaten in their last 16 Premier League matches against newly-promoted clubs (13 wins) since a 1-0 defeat at Burnley in August 2009.
They have lost three of their last four away league matches by 1-0.
If selected, Ryan Giggs will be making his 600th Premier League appearance - the first player to reach this milestone, while Robin Van Persie is a hat-trick shy of 100 Premier League goals.
