Will Saints Be Cast Adrift At The Bottom Before They Kick A Ball This Weekend Saturday, 23rd Nov 2024 10:10 The Premier League table does not make good viewing unless you turn it upside down, Southampton are rock bottom 2 points adrift from the team above and 4 points off Ipswich 4th from bottom, so will that gap be worse before we kick off on Sunday. Several of our relegation rivals will be playing today before we kick off against Liverpool at 2pm on Sunday, so here we take a look at our chances of still being in touching distance both after today's games and also the weekend as a whole. The Lunchtime game on Saturday see's Leicester take on Chelsea at home, although at the moment the Foxes look out of sight from us, they are still in the relegation battle as a whole and are just 3 points above Crystal Palace in the drop zone, a good away win would be good for us and at least give us hope. A raft of 3pm kick off see's Fulham host Wolverhampton Wanderers and with Fulham on 18 points looking to have a comfortable season, they could perhaps be within 3 wins of safety if they despatch Wolves, lets hope they do, Aston Villa are at home to Crystal Palace and again we want an emphatic home win to actually give us a chance to draw level with Palace and perhaps even just 1 point away from safety, at least that would give us something to fight for. Everton on 10 points are not yet clear of relegation worries and they take on Brentford at Goodison, like their West London rivals Fulham, a win for the Bee's could take them well clear of relegation worries, so fingers crossed.
On Monday Newcastle take on West Ham and the Hammers sit uncomfortably on 12 points and if they lose up on Tyneside then a relegation battle is not off the cards for the East London club. All Photos Via Reuters Please report offensive, libellous or inappropriate posts by using the links provided.
