Southampton has been impressive in the EPL having been consistent among the top five on the EPL table for some months now. They have proven so many times that they are worth the spot they are now, having started this season with an away win against West Brom, and went on to get an away win over the “we will never walk alone” giant, Liverpool, at Anfield. No one really took them serious then, but after they drew with Manchester United, they have been on the spot light. Any team meeting Southampton needs to be ready for anything.
They have a very good record, having won 6 matches out of twelve, drew 4 and lost just two games. The word to describe this baffling record for a side still at its basis is TERRIFIC. But we are just getting started, Southampton FC have conceded the least goals in the EPL, having found just 7 balls in their net followed by Chelsea, 10 who are tied on 2nd with Arsenal.
On Sunday, the 1st of December, these teams’ defensive tactics, I think, will be what will be a decider.
I guess I have not answered the question above.
Southampton sits in the fifth position with 22 points, being chased by Man United, Everton, Newcastle and Spurs. If these four teams were to win their matches and Southampton ends up losing, I’m sure you don’t even wanna think it. So it’s very important that they either win or draw against Chelsea which I don’t see that coming so easily. They will have to be at their best to clinch a win.
Chelsea on the other hand, of course, won’t wanna lose either, I mean, no team ever wants/plans to lose. They have the grand advantage playing at home in the delectable Stamford Bridge and believe me when I say, that has been a place of no happy return for visitors in the EPL. You can ask Man City...lol
All I can say is let the better side win!
