The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Southampton lock horns with Jesse Marsch's Leeds United side at Elland Road on Saturday.
Leeds United vs Southampton Preview
Leeds United are currently in 16th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side edged Wolverhampton Wanderers to a crucial 3-2 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Southampton, on the other hand, are in 11th place in the league table at the moment and have endured a slump over the past month. The Saints were outplayed by Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals and have a point to prove this weekend.
