Is Southampton vs Newcastle United on TV? Channel guide, kick-off, team news ahead of Premier League fixture

Southampton suffered their seventh defeat of the season when they were beaten 1-0 at Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park. They had been on a three game unbeaten run ahead of their meeting with Patrick Vieira’s side but quickly came under attack and endured another disappointing result.

Speaking in the post-match press conference, Saints manager Ralph Hassenhuttl said: “We played too slow and with too many mistakes. The counter-pressing was very aggressive and when you don’t play quick enough you get under pressure. When not every player is at the highest level it is not possible to compete in the Premier League.”

Their opponents for this weekend, however, are in quite the reverse position. Newcastle currently sit fourth in the Premier League table and their last defeat came at the end of August. In their most recent outing, Eddie Howe’s men beat a struggling Aston Villa 4-0.

They have also recently defeated Tottenham 2-1 in Spurs’ ground as well as securing a 5-1 win over Brentford and 4-1 victory over Fulham. The Saints, however, will hope to make a signifcant dent in the Magpies’ recent success as they seek their first home win since August, when they beat Chelsea.

Team news

The Brazilian has started 85% of the Magpies’ league games this season, scoring one goal and securing one assist in the process.

As yet, there is little news from the Southampton camp. Following their match against Crystal Palace, Hassenhuttl spoke of the fitness of his players saying: “(Stuart Armstrong) was at half-time struggling but he tried it in the second-half and this is good to see him trying to fight for the team. With injuries. we will see what comes with this week.”
