Premier League 2024-2025: Southampton-Newcastle, the likely lineups

Southampton-Newcastle, the probable formations

On Saturday, January 25 at 16:00, Southampton, in the midst of a results crisis, will host a Newcastle on the upswing and determined to continue its run toward a European placement for next season.

Southampton è in free fall, with 8 defeats in the last 9 days of the Premier League, stuck in last place with only 6 points è increasingly distant from safety. The arrival of Ivan Juric, who took over from Russell Martin, has not yet brought the desired results. Against Newcastle, the coach is expected to confirm the 3-4-2-1, despite the few fruits harvested so far. Absent through injury are Stewart, Stephens and Dibling.

After a streak of six consecutive wins, Eddie Howe’s Newcastle suffered a heavy 4-1 loss at home against Bournemouth on the last day of the Premier League. It was an unexpected misstep for the Magpies, still fully in the running for a place in the next Champions League. In the match against Southampton, Dan Burn should be confirmed in the center of defense along with Schar, with Livramento and Hall on the flanks. The midfield is confirmed with Guimaraes, Tonali and Joelinton. Lascelles, Wilson, Pope and Barnes remain unavailable due to injury.
