It would be something of an understatement to say that Southampton’s next two Premier League fixtures are must-win games, and their outcomes will shape the Saints season.
Watford and Norwich City, the two other sides that occupy the Premier League relegation zone in the table, visit St. Mary’s back-to-back in what are two games that Southampton simply have to win if they are to ensure escape from the bottom three.
Will Southampton claim Premier League survival?YesNo |
And after last weekend’s dramatic 2-2 draw against Arsenal where Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side were seemingly unlucky not to leave north London with all three points, Southampton supporters on social media were begging the side to turn up for the Saints next two league fixtures against their fellow Premier League bottom dwellers.
Here’s what some Southampton fans had to say on Twitter about their upcoming fixtures against Watford and Norwich hoping the Saints can secure six points from the two games…

Some fans, though, were still not confident Southampton had it in them to secure maximum points from the two underperforming Premier League sides…
Me but can we actually play a decent couple of games at home for once?

As long as you lot are up for it! the rest of us will be there regardless.

If we lose these games we’re basically relegated

Six points against Watford and Norwich could be enough to see Southampton climb out of the Premier League relegation zone should other results go their way.
