Saturday’s events get underway with a clash between Southampton and Everton at St Mary’s this lunchtime. Both sides are looking for a first win of the new campaign after registering 2-2 draws with Newcastle and Watford last weekend.

The Saints proved a reliable source of defensive returns at home last year, chalking up 11 clean sheets in front of their own fans and conceding a mere 13 times – only Chelsea (nine) proved more miserly.

After netting twice at St James’ Park last week, they’ll be looking to take advantage of a Toffees backline devoid of the injured Leighton Baines. Certainly, given that the visitors managed just two clean sheets on their travels last season, those backing the Saints at both ends of the pitch will fancy their chances of getting amongst the points.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Thanks Targett for the blank. At least it's not negative!!

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      i'm just glad i paid 4.0 for a Soton defender.. he can sit on my bench and rot for all i care. if i had Cedric i'd want to make a trade 🙂

      1. Thick Of It
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        This, and not long until Bertie is back anyway

      2. CoutinYo
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah i agree. Hurts less and if he doesn't get dropped 4.0mil is a great value.

  3. Venom Snake

    Naismith getting ready to come on, saints still a chance

  4. KeepCalm

  5. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Hows the second half going?

  6. Texas Pete
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Mane has been extremely poor today. Don't thnk the move out wide has done him any favours either.

    1. Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Ridiculous comment. Been the only threat the Saint's have carried the whole game. Deserved a goal if it were not for the heroics of Tim Howard.

    2. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He hasn't been 'extremely poor' at all, what game are you watching?

  7. Thick Of It
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Howard looking good for 2 Baps at the mo, maybe more baps for keepers this season?

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      We already knew that

      1. Thick Of It
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Ah cool, is there an article relevant to that you could point me towards?

  9. AIRMILES
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    1. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      4 from 3. Not a whole lot better..

    2. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I take it back, 7 points.

    3. _nod
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      3 from 3 as it stands. : /

    4. CoutinYo
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      4 from Targett, Mane, and Rooney. Just glad I didn't (C) any of them up!

      1. AIRMILES
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Very true. I nearly captained Mane.

    5. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      5 from 3 🙁

  10. ADucksBehind
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Keep in mind! There's still time for Mane to score 4 hat tricks

  11. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Theo Walcott

  12. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    I don't like Davis. Could have played in mane there.

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      This

  13. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    You know the gameweek isn't going well when you we relying on Defoe to get you the points

    1. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      2nd week in a row that I am relying on his points. Tadic's 1 pointer was unexpected

  14. QGOONER
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Mane (C) is one week too early imo

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Lol forgot people captained him

      1. Too Mane Men
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        And how has your captain done this week? Or has he not even played yet? Be quiet.

  15. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Can already see it happening..
    Soton bad today + Deeney goal vs WBA will lead to Deeney essential talks on here in a few hours 😆

    1. QGOONER
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Thought about captaining Deeney. Thought better of it though

  16. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Omg mane great effort.

  17. Pirlø's Pen
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Pelle could have had a hatrick today, have faith as of his upcoming fixtures

    1. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure what game you've been watching mate.

    2. Adams6
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      In what universe?

  18. Licky
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Mané so close! 😯

  19. Wouter
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Can Cedric please whip one in properly?

  20. sozopol
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Looks like ritchie going to fall tonight? That's annoying

  21. @FPLMason
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Mane! Close!

  22. C-Dawgg
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    As a Portsmouth fan with Mane in my team I have mixed feelings right now.

  23. Hakuna Juan Mata
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    If only that Mane shot could've scurred in :'(

  24. il Brutto
    • 12 Years

    The way things are shaping up Benteke (c) might be huge.

    1. Declan
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      😎

  25. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    It is a shame how much ff has ruined me. As a kid I loved Southampton so much I would get angry with a loss. Now I'm honestly more concerned about my ff team!

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      And yes of you do the maths I was frequently angry as a kid haha

  26. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Mane was so close to becoming a season keeper there

    1. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Haha

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years

      😆

  27. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Is Bellerin likely to start tomorrow?

  28. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Naismith off

    Naismith on

  29. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Cedric is bloody awful, gets the ball in so much space and just puts in shite ball after shite ball...

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      and he's attacking prowess is supposed to be his strength 😆 .. cause he is poor at defending

      1. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        He'll surely be dropped soon

  30. Venom Snake

    Wanyama just hit row Z
