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

    Why did Lukaku get his boot shined after scoring with his head?

  4. Zombie

    10 years, 7 months ago

    and of course my ML leader benched Yaya and played Matic/Schneiderlin

    but hey, he got double United defense and brought in Kone this GW (got his 0.1 rise as well)

    77 points last week and 17 yesterday. Today Kone already at it

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

      He's simply better than you.

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years

  8. Kingston
    • 15 Years

      1. Kingston

  9. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    I'd envisage as soon as you add Kone or Lukaku they'll blank and consistently blank week on week thereafter..

    1. Zero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Trying to convince myself that doing Lukaku to Gomis yesterday as a step in the future aquisition of Aguero will eventually pay off.. Cause it will right?

  28. Licky

  29. Kingston
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Southampton were never going to reproduce their defensive record of last season. Still think their attack is worth investing in though
