SOUTHAMPTON – NEWCASTLE | Sunday 3pm
There is a lot at stake for both Southampton and Newcastle in this match. The hosts currently have twelve points in the standings and are in the relegation zone. Howe’s visitors, on the other hand, are trying to make sense of their new ownership’s investment: they are fourth in the standings in the Champions League and come from four wins in their last five matches.
The moment in a nutshell is truly magical and nobody over there has the will to end it. That’s why, by trying to exploit the home side’s difficulties, Newcastle might be able to win this game and who knows, maybe overtake Tottenham who will be up against Liverpool later this afternoon.
The Southampton-Newcastle prediction
Necastle’s big blow in the air. Howe’s team’s big hit really could be expected in a game that could change the fortunes of the season. Match of at least three goals in total.
The likely line-ups
- SOUTHAMPTON (4-4-2): Bazunu; Caleta-Car, Perraud, Lyanco, Salisu; Ward-Prowse, Maitland-Niles, Aribo, Armstrong; Elyounoussi, Adams.
- NEWCASTLE (4-5-1): Pope; Trippier, Botman, Burn, Schär; Willock, Murphy, Bruno Guimaraes, Longstaff, Almiron; Wilson.
