The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Southampton lock horns with Eddie Howe's Newcastle United side in an important clash at the St. Mary's Stadium on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will be determined to win this game.
Southampton vs Newcastle United Preview
Newcastle United are in sixth place in the Premier League standings and have been in impressive form this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 4-1 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Southampton, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the league table and have struggled this season. The Saints suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat against Nottingham Forest in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
