Southampton Preview – Can Saints extend unbeaten run?
After a shaky start to the new Premier League season which saw Southampton slip to two defeats on the trot, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side have since staged an impressive recovery by putting together a five-match unbeaten sequence in the top flight, winning four of these five matches too.
Back-to-back defeats against Crystal Palace and Tottenham, the latter being a heavy 5-2 thrashing at home, might have had a few fans fearing another tough season ahead but The Saints have stormed back by picking up wins against Burnley, West Brom, Everton and Aston Villa, which has helped lift the south coast club into 5th place.
Indeed, such as their recent impressive results have been, that another three points for Southampton in this Friday night clash against Newcastle United could lift the hosts up into top spot prior to the weekend’s action and with just one defeat out of their last six matches at home, Saints stand a good chance of doing just that.
Newcastle United Preview – Can Newcastle win back-to-back?
It’s been a fairly reasonable start to this new Premier League season for Newcastle United as The Magpies sit in the relative comfort of a mid-table 11th place on the top flight ladder and head down to the south coast for this Friday encounter against Southampton on the back of a 2-1 home win over Everton.
Newcastle have lost just two of their first seven matches of this new campaign, both of which were incurred on home turf at their St James’ Park with losses against Brighton and Manchester United and the visitors have actually performed better on the road so far this term.
The visitors are unbeaten in their three away matches to date in the Premier League after recording a 2-0 win away at West Ham, they’ve drawn their last two encounters on their travels at Tottenham and Wolves, both in 1-1 stalemates, so Steve Bruce’s side may well fancy their chances of walking away from St Mary’s Stadium with at least a point here.
