Southampton vs Newcastle – Southampton have been on a solid run of games since Christmas, allowing them to stay in the top half of the table and possibly make a late push for European competitions. However, in their most recent match, they were humiliated 4-0 away at Villa Park by Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa.
The defeat was their first in the league in six games. With ten points from their previous five league games, the club is now ninth in the Premier League, seven points ahead of their Thursday opponent.
Newcastle have produced incredible results since the turn of the year and are now comfortably clear of the relegation zone, thanks to an impressive winter transfer window. Furthermore, only Liverpool has amassed more points during that time period, and they also have the league’s longest unbeaten streak.
They were last seen in a 2-1 win at home against Brighton. The victory was the club’s fifth in six league games. The club is now 14th in the league table, seven points clear of the relegation zone, after going undefeated in their last eight league matches.
