Newcastle United Hosts Southampton in Premier League Clash
On August 17, 2024, Newcastle United will face Southampton in a crucial early-season Premier League match at St. James' Park.
At 15:00 this Saturday, the 17th of August 2024, Newcastle United will host Southampton at St. James’ Park for a pivotal early-season clash in the Premier league. Neither team has yet to score a point this season, and both are firmly ensconced in mid-table places, Newcastle in 13th, and Southampton in 15th.
Newcastle has an impressive history of wins against Southampton, and have won seven of the last nine games between the two clubs. In addition, the Saints have only managed one win at St. James in their last 18 league matches.
In spite of this, crucial players including Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, who has already scored 13 goals in 2024, will play a prominent role in determining the victor. The relatively new Southampton manager, Russell Martin, will attempt to implement his possession-based strategy to end Newcastle’s record at home. Both fans and neutrals can expect this match to be a significant event on the football calendar for any number of reasons.
