Southampton: 

The Ivan Juric era at Southampton is set to begin on Sunday afternoon when the Saints host Fulham in what could be a crucial match for their Premier League survival. After a dismal 5-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton parted ways with Russell Martin, and Juric is expected to take charge in time for this game, assuming there are no last-minute delays. Juric, known for his work at Torino and Roma, will need to hit the ground running with a side that has been struggling badly. Under temporary manager Simon Rusk, Southampton were narrowly beaten 2-1 by Liverpool in the EFL Cup, but that result did little to improve their league form. The Saints have now lost six of their last seven matches and sit rock-bottom in the Premier League, nine points adrift of safety. Their away form has been abysmal, with no wins on the road since February 2023, and Juric will be well aware of the uphill battle to avoid relegation. A positive result against Fulham is crucial for the team to start building some momentum ahead of the festive period.


Fulham: 

Fulham, under the steady leadership of Marco Silva, will be looking to maintain their solid mid-table position when they travel to St Mary’s to face Southampton. The Cottagers have impressed in recent weeks, taking points off Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool in the last four matches, and they sit comfortably in 8th place in the Premier League. Silva’s side has been strong in attack, scoring in each of their last 15 top-flight matches, though their defensive record remains a concern, with just one clean sheet in their last 10 matches. Despite these defensive vulnerabilities, Fulham’s attacking prowess has helped them remain competitive, and they will be favorites against a struggling Southampton side. Fulham has a good record against the Saints, having done the league double over them last season, and they will be aiming to extend that dominance and enhance their European credentials with a vital three points at St Mary’s.
