Facundo Pellistri could get the role change he deserves at Manchester United

Wan-Bissaka in?

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been unfortunate not to start in any of the last three matches and that has only confirmed Erik ten Hag views Diogo Dalot as the more complete right-back.

Dalot was one of the in-form full-backs in Europe in the first four months of the season but he has been out of form since he suffered a hamstring strain during Portugal's World Cup defeat to Morocco. That was more than three months ago now.

The starters against Real Betis did a commendable job in repaying Ten Hag's faith four days on from the Anfield aberration. United have not been as dominant and creative across 90 minutes all season and they could have won by a bigger margin.

Such is United's schedule, it is more logical to select a stronger side for their last Premier League game of the month than in Seville, where United will line up with a three-goal cushion. Their FA Cup quarter-final with Fulham is three days later.

Southampton to spring another 'surprise'?

Southampton relocated to St Mary's in 2001 and have only beaten United once there. Since their promotion back up to the top flight in 2012, they have won two, drawn four and lost four at Old Trafford; a creditable record and two of those losses were narrow (in 2013 and 2019).

Rubén Sellés will become the sixth Southampton manager to sit in the away dugout in M16 in the last 11 years. Despite the disastrous FA Cup defeat to fourth-tier Grimsby, Southampton have beaten
