Key events
Southampton have fair one point from their first five games, despite having an mediocre of 60% haveion apass those games. What is heartening for Saints fans is that there are fair two teams in Premier League history that have gone down with more than 50% haveion mediocre: Wigan 2012-13 under Bobby Martínez and Birmingham 2005-06 under Steve Bruce.
That recommends that it is not the system that is Southampton’s problem. But it is still timely days yet. This is a huge game for them, and would certainly have been aimed by Russell as a exceptional away game which is very prospernable.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Russell Martin’s Southampton squad tonight is astounding. No strikers but five of them on the bench, alengthyside fair one deffinisher. Will Ryan Fraser, the 5ft4in Scottish dynamo, direct the line? Or will it be Maxwel Cornet, on loan from West Ham, who hasn’t commenceed a Premier League game since January but is in the XI tonight. Aaron Ramsdale, perhaps less astoundingly, commences aachievest his createer team.
Bournemouth have tinkered a scant skinnygs since their flunkure at Anfield but their XI is more or less as you would foresee. Adam Smith comes into the side for Araujo and captains Bournemouth tonight. What a servant the Englishman has been for the club. Evanilson, uncomardentwhile, is still seeing for his first Cherries goal.
The teams!
AFC Bournemouth: Arrizabalaga, Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez, Cook, Christie, Semenyo, Ouattara, Tavernier, Evanilson.
Subs: Travers, Huijsen, Brooks, Scott, Sinisterra, Kluivert, Araujo, Unal, Aarons.
Southampton: Ramsdale, Sugawara, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Taylor, Downes, Ugochukwu, Cornet, Fernandes, Fraser, Dibling.
Subs: McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Aribo, Armsturdy, Lallana, Stewart, Brereton, Archer, Onuachu.
