da heads bet: Southampton’s last two results have made relegation from the Premier League all the more likely.
da bet vitoria: Mark Hughes’s side were beaten 3-2 by both Arsenal and Chelsea, which has left them five points from safety with as many games left to play.
The style of football under Hughes has been more positive than that implemented by Mauricio Pellegrino prior to the Argentine’s sacking.
However, time is running out for the Saints to pick up the points they need to retain their top-flight status.

At the weekend, the game against Chelsea was frustrating for the coastal club at St Mary’s as they threw away a two-goal lead.
Not only that, but Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso seemingly got away with a stamp on Shane Long’s calf in the first half while the Blues were trailing.
Retrospective action has now been taken, with the FA charging the Spaniard with violent conduct.
If found guilty, the Chelsea man could be suspended for this Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Southampton.
Even though that would be a positive outcome for the Saints, the majority of fans feel that the charge is meaningless.
