Newcastle United vs Southampton Preview

Newcastle will look to fight back into the Premier League’s Top 4 this season, and the first club in their crosshairs is the newly promoted Southampton.

It has been a far better time for the North England club since Eddie Howe’s arrival, but it is fair to say that they did not meet expectations in finishing seventh and missing a European berth last season.

The Saints return to the topflight after a commendable season in The Championship which ultimately resulted in their promotion via the play-off Final.

This early in the season, they are probably two completely different classes of side.
