How both teams go into Southampton vs Fulham

Southampton’s miserable Premier League season came to its inevitable conclusion, with relegation confirmed after Tottenham inflicted their 25th defeat of the season on April 6. They became the first team in Premier League history to be relegated with as many as seven games of the season remaining. That day, Saints also became the third team to lose as many as 25 of their first 31 games of a top-flight campaign, after Sunderland in 2005/06 and Sheffield United in 2020/21 (both also 25).

On Saturday, April 12, they lost 3-0 to Aston Villa at St Mary’s, as the misery continued. It was defeat number 26 of the season, the Saints’ most defeats across a single season in the top four tiers. Saints have picked up just 10 points so far. They need just two more from their final six games to avoid setting the Premier League record for the lowest cumulative points total, which is currently held by Derby County (2007/08) with 11 points.

Once the definition of a yo-yo club, Fulham have been stabilised under the leadership of Marco Silva and have European football in their sights. The Cottagers are six points behind fifth-placed Aston Villa, with that spot guaranteeing a place in next season’s Champions League, a competition Fulham have never previously qualified for. They will need to be consistent, though; since February they’ve won five of their eight Premier League matches but only back-to-back once.
