Saturday afternoon will see two sides on the outer fringes of the relegation battle attempt to lever themselves out of trouble at St Mary’s, as Southampton take on Newcastle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Saints are coming off a disappointing defeat to West Ham and can move into the top half with a win, depending on other results.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their opponents have not won in the league since mid-January, leaving them with just a single place available to climb with a win this weekend \u2013 although they can’t lose <\/i>any positions either, sitting more than a match clear of Brighton (four points behind), West Ham, Watford and Bournemouth (all five points behind).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

?Southampton have a smattering of\u00a0injuries to deal with for this game, mainly amongst their midfielders.

<\/h3>\n

?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
?Southampton
<\/strong><\/td>\n		?McCarthy; Walker-Peters, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand; Ward-Prowse,\u00a0H\u00f8jbjerg; Djenepo, Boufal; Ings, Long.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Head-to-Head Record
<\/h3>\n

It was Steve Bruce’s side who came out on top earlier this season, winning 2-1 at St James’ Park. Goals from Jonjo Shelvey and Federico Fern\u00e1ndez were enough for the Magpies, despite ?Danny Ings opening the scoring for the south-coast side.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Federico<\/div>\n

<\/i><\/p>\n

The hosts have the barest edge i<\/span>n their 37 ?Premier League\u00a0meetings, having won 15 of their encounters to the Magpies’ 14. St Mary’s has become a tough trip for the visitors, who have tasted victory only once on the south coast \u2013 and not for 16 years.<\/p>\n\n

Prediction<\/h3>\n

The Magpies will take many positives from their trip to West Brom on Tuesday, but several key players will arrive more fatigued than their south-coast counterparts.<\/p>\n

That plus the fact that the Saints have been dominant at home to Newcastle, plus the likely return of Danny Ings to the starting lineup, means\u00a0it’s hard to pick against Southampton \u2013 who should move\u00a0another three points closer to confirming their top-flight status for another season.<\/span><\/p>\n
