In the English Premier League, Leeds United will play Southampton at Elland Road on Saturday. In the league, Leeds United lost 1-0 to Sean Dyche’s Everton before this match. Everton won thanks to a goal from Irish right-back Seamus Coleman in the second half.
In contrast, Southampton defeated Chelsea, led by Graham Potter, 1-0 in the league. James Ward-Prowse, a star midfielder, scored the winning goal for Southampton. With Leeds United currently ranked 19th in the league, the departure of Jesse Marsch as manager has not surprised many.
With Leeds United’s current pointless situation, the Spaniard Javi Gracia, who is probably best known for his time with Watford, faces a difficult task. Despite the fact that they are only two points behind Bournemouth, which is 17th, their current performances do not inspire confidence.
Leeds Joined has not shied from spending enormous cash this season, yet questions have been raised about the enlistment methodology, with any semblance of Weston McKennie, Maximilian Wober, and Brenden Aaronson showing up with huge assumptions.

Leeds United vs Southampton Prediction :
Similar to Leeds United, Southampton was very active in the January transfer window. They are also at the bottom of the league table, one point behind Leeds United, and recently fired manager Nathan Jones. During Jones’ time at Southampton, more attention was paid to his interesting remarks and press conferences than to the game itself.
Ruben Selles, the club’s interim manager, wants to become the permanent manager, and more results like the one at Chelsea will undoubtedly help his cause. A battle for relegation pits two sides against one another; Southampton will prevail in this match.
Prediction: Leeds United 2-1 Southampton
Leeds United vs Southampton Head to head :

Leeds United vs Southampton Team news :
The three Leeds players Rodrigo (ankle), Stuart Dallas (leg), and Adam Forshaw (groin) are still recovering from long-term injuries, but Forshaw is hoping to return sometime next month.
Maximilian Wober, Luis Sinisterra (thigh), Pascal Struijk (concussion), Marc Roca (knock), and Archie Gray (ankle) are all doubtful for Saturday’s match against Everton. Wober left the match at the half with a suspected dislocated shoulder.
Luke Ayling could play in the middle at some point during the game if captain Liam Cooper is recalled to partner Robin Koch at center back in the event that Wober is unable to play the full 90 minutes due to an injury.
Patrick Bamford, who has scored three Premier League goals in his last four matches against Southampton, is expected to lead the line for Saturday’s match. Brendan Aaronson and Georginio Rutter, who both played for the club’s Under-21s on Monday, will be vying for a spot in the first team.
Che Adams (unknown), Mislav Orsic (concussion), Valentino Livramento (ACL), Juan Larios (hamstring), and Mohammed Salisu (knock) are all out for Southampton. Juan Larios (hamstring) is getting closer to returning after participating in training, though.
After recovering from a hamstring strain last weekend, Walker-Peters was used as a substitute. On Saturday, the right back will be hoping to replace Ainsley Maitland-Niles in the starting lineup.
Ward-Prowse will make his 329th Premier League game, breaking Jason Dodd’s club record. Romeo Lavia, Carlos Alvarez, or Ibrahima Diallo will likely play center-midfield with the Saints captain.
Paul Onuachu and Kamaldeen Sulemana, both acquired in January, could start in attack for the third time in a row, but Sekou Mara, Adam Armstrong, and Theo Walcott could challenge them.
