Only won 1 out of their last 11 games as well, which was against Liverpool.

I don’t like reading these sort of stats.

Me too, it means that they are a game closer to breaking the streak.

We can’t take them for granted at all.

team I would go with 

mendy 

azbi silva rudi

CHO jorginho kova alonso 

mount Werner 

giroud 

Mendy

James Silva Rudiger 

CHO Kante Kovacic Alonso

Mount Giroud Werner

Not looking forward to this one really but, as we all know anything can and has happened in football at the moment!

I would put Mount where you have Alonso and then have one of Havertz, Pulisic or Ziyech play forward. Mount can't really beat players off the dribble and pitting him on the wing helps with the counterattack. The offense needs more creativity to get more scoring chances. 

Got a bad feeling about this, seen us win at Southampton so many times in recent years, we’ve picked up, they are on a downer, you know what’s going to happen

Great to see the Scousers at 14 and Spuds in the rele zone - long may it continue

Agreed.?

Since they are supposedly the worst team at the moment maybe it's the one game where we can play with a back 4 even without T.Silva? 

Thiago and possibly Pulisic (slight issue with his calf) out for tomorrow's match. But Abraham and Kai are available which is good.

 Looks like we are saving Thiago for Athletico.

Yes good to see Tammy and Kai available. Lots more flexibility and better suited to our fast mobile game. I thought Tammy had started to press against Newcastle before his injury. Basically the first time I’d ever seen him press properly. Hopefully lots more to come. And Havertz I have great hope for. Think he can be the key to actually scoring from the situations we create.

I am really getting concerned about Pulisic and his future with the team. I don't understand the cliff dive in performance and the injuries just keep coming.

                       Mendy

Azpilicueta Zouma Rudiger Chilwell

              Jorginho Kovacic

Ziyech           Mount              CHO

                    Werner

Considering that the Saints have been terrible we could get away with the back 4 and win.

I've prepared myself mentally for a ruined weekend.

It's the best way.

Sounds like Pulisic is doubtful for the game tomorrow, but not completely ruled out yet.

knowing our history of helping teams out that are in trouble, aka Arsenal, there's a good possibility of us f**king this up then

I share the same anxiety. Just need to put in a professional performance and get the job done without fuss.
