The first setback in the shape of a loss after going unbeaten in three league games. Salisu, defender, was given a rating of 7.41/10 in that game, top of the team. Salisu hit two key passes and won 8 of 12 duels.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Arsenal that ended 1-1.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Carabao Cup game versus Sheffield Wednesday in only three days. This game is also played here at St. Mary's Stadium.
Southampton are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. On the other hand, Southampton have conceded 8 goals.
Newcastle United form and stats

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Crystal Palace in just three days.
