This week sees the return of the EFL Cup, with Southampton taking on Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United team in a second-leg semi-final match at St. James’ Park on Tuesday.
As of right now, Southampton is rooted at the bottom of the Premier League standings and has, for the most part, failed to live up to expectations this season. This week, the Saints have a point to prove after beating Blackpool by a score of 2-1 in the FA Cup.
On the other hand, Newcastle United is currently in third place in the league and has consistently performed above expectations this season. In the previous match, the home team defeated Southampton by a score of 1-0, and they will try to do the same in this one.
