THE PREDICTION
Slavisa Jokanovic had endured a difficult start to his tenure at Bramall Lane. It was always expected that The Blades would struggle as they get to grips with the slick change in style and system of the Serb. The goals, though, did begin to flow after the international break as United hammered Peterborough by six goals to two. The demands of the Championship might lead to some rotation ahead of this game as they come up against a deceptively deep Southampton squad. That depth was highlighted by nine changed being made to a Saints side that hammered Newport County 8-0 in the second round of this competition. The re-emergence of Mohamed Elyounoussi being the cause for that deception. Given the fact that the visitors can rotate with more quality than the hosts, Southampton will be the favourites for this.
