What to Know
Leeds United’s and Southampton’s time off is coming to an end as we head into Matchweek 8. They are meeting up for the first time this season at 10 a.m. ET on Saturday at St. Mary’s Stadium. Leeds United won both of their matches against Southampton last season (3-0 and 2-0) and is aiming for the same result this time around.
Two weeks ago, Leeds United won by a goal, slipping past Watford 1-0. The Leeds United offense checked out after the first half but had enough goals banked to take the match anyway.
Meanwhile, Southampton came up short against Chelsea last week, falling 3-1.
Leeds United’s victory lifted them to 1-3-3 (16th place with six points) while Southampton’s loss dropped them down to 0-3-4 (17th place with four points). Allowing an average of 2 points per game, Leeds United hasn’t exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We’ll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming game.
