    Southampton boss Ronald Koeman: "Last season were two different games and we deserved better at home. It was Robin van Persie's best game last season."

    Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "Our defensive organisation has been very good so I didn't have to change too much. Marcos Rojo usually plays on the left for Argentina and plays there for us today.

    "Wayne Rooney wanted to play earlier but we didn't take the risk and Anthony Martial plays like a striker and is always a threat for the defence."

    Teams are in the tunnel and there are plenty of embraces from the opposing players. Spaniards David De Gea and Oriol Romeu have a natter in their native tongue. Kick off is five minutes away.

    For the young ones reading, Francis Benali is a Southampton legend who made over 300 appearances for the side in the 90s. 

    An era when football used to be fun and enjoyable to watch, and there were some superb moustaches on show. I do miss those days!

    It would be nice to score again but the most important thing is that we take a good result. We can only do that if we play well as a team.

    Dusan Tadic, Southampton midfielder

    Tadic scored the winner when the sides met at Old Trafford in January.

    Have some faith, David. You could play so well they may end up changing their kit at half-time.

    I don't know what to expect, every away game is not easy and we come here to win. I hope we can achieve that today. Yesterday's result was good for us, but we have to show ourselves today.

    After Luke Shaw's injury, replacement Marcos Rojo will want to grab his opportunity in the first team.

    Rojo incurred the wrath of manager Louis van Gaal after failing to board a flight to the USA in pre-season because of passport issues.

    The Argentina international can put his stamp on the game today, playing at left-back.

    Both teams being put through their paces in the warm-up at the moment. The weather on the south coast is beautiful, so the dry conditions will help these two sides' passing games. Predictions?

    Southampton v Man Utd (16:00 BST)

    Managers Ronald Koeman and Louis van Gaal don't see eye to eye after a spat during their time at Ajax in 2004.

    There has been a little bit of an exchange between the two Dutchmen in the lead up to kick off. More on that soon.

    However, unlike Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger, these two will shake hands after the game. The post-match bottle of wine, though, will probably be left untouched.

    Former Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin plays against his old club for the first time, having made over 250 appearances for the Saints in the Premier League, Championship and League One.

    Will he celebrate if he scores?
