Newcastle United Preview – Can Magpies gain vital win?
Having lost both of their opening two matches of this new Premier League season, Newcastle United will be desperate to avoid a third loss on the trot ahead of the international break as Steve Bruce’s men have slipped to defeats against West Ham and Aston Villa respectively.
Results overall have been very inconsistent for The Magpies in recent times as the hosts have secured five wins from their last 10 matches overall which includes wins against West Ham and Leicester City towards the end of last season but results at home have been fairly steady.
Newcastle have lost just three of their last 9 games at St James’ Park and The Magpies also beat Southampton 3-2 in the last meeting at home against their visitors.
Southampton Preview – Can Saints improve fortunes?
Southampton have only fared marginally better than their north-east counterparts as the south coast club have picked up one point from their opening two matches of this new Premier League season, thanks to a 1-1 draw at home with Manchester United last weekend.
Saints opened the season with a disappointing 3-1 loss away at Everton but they’ll be hoping that they can take points off one of the teams that are expected to be around them in the division this season on Saturday.
However, this may be easier said than done as Southampton have won just two of their last 10 matches overall, both of which were achieved at St Mary’s Stadium, while results on the road have been extremely poor; the Saints have lost 11 of their last 12 away games.
