Premier League Soccer: Live Stream Man United vs. Southampton from anywhere

Two teams looking to push on from confidence-building wins in the FA Cup meet at Old Trafford on Thursday when Manchester United host Southampton in the English Premier League.

United boss Ruben Amorim will have been delighted with his side’s resilience after running past Arsenal on penalties on Sunday, despite being down to 10 men for over an hour after Diogo Dalot’s sending off. The hosts will have to do without the wing-back due to suspension in this match, with Tyrell Malacia likely to deputize.

They face a Southampton side rooted to the foot of the table, with a 10-point gap to make up to get out of the relegation zone. Last weekend’s comfortable 3-0 home cup win over Championship club Swansea City will have raised hopes of a turnaround in form, while midfielder Mateus Fernandes is set to return to the Saints’ starting line-up after serving his suspension.

Manchester United host Southampton on Thursday 16 January at Old Trafford, with kick-off set for 20:00 GMT local time. That makes it one 3pm ET or 12pm PT start in the US and Canada, and a 7am AEDT kickoff in Australia on Friday, January 17.

How to watch the Premier League 2024-25 season anywhere with a VPN

If you are unable to watch EPL matches locally, you may need another way to watch the games – this is where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a good idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and you will add an extra layer of privacy to your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you are able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to access the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

It’s legal to use a VPN to watch or stream sports in all countries where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. Make sure your VPN is set up properly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service can terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing properly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming the Premier League using a VPN

• With four variables at play – your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN – your experience and success when streaming EPL matches can vary.
• If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using “search by city or country”.
• If you’re having trouble getting the game after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and ensure that the address registered to the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address registered to your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you use (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network will now appear in the correct display location.
• All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main page to quickly install the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you will be asked to confirm a numeric code or click on a link sent to your email address registered with your smart- television. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help as both devices appear to be in the right location.
• And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so make sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We usually recommend Brave.
