Southampton vs Brentford

Southampton host Brentford in a huge game for the hosts at St Mary's Stadium on Wednesday, as the Saints can move out of the relegation zone with a win.

Per the report both Werner and De Ligt are up for the move, with the Dutch center back set to be the new center-piece of Thomas Tuchel’s defense, while Werner is keen for a fresh start in Italy as his goalscoring woes in the Premier League continue. (AE) (JPW) What a move this would be for a Chelsea team already loaded with attackers, just the latest sign that no one besides (probably) Kai Havertz and Mason Mount are safe in their status with Thomas Tuchel’s Blues. This time around, Lukaku scored 15 goals in 44 appearances (all competitions – 8 in 26 in the Premier League), bringing his Chelsea career total to 15 goals. This is a massive upgrade for Chelsea and proves the ambition of their new owners, as Sterilng will excel in the 3-4-2-1 formation in one of the underneath roles, or even up top as the central striker. The American goalkeeper has a very bright future and this is a good move for him to enter the European market and have a huge club like Chelsea handling his development. His quality is clear for all to see and he would slot in well to the 3-4-2-1 system and is very comfortable on the ball and coming out of the back to start attacks. The focus at Chelsea will likely now be on selling players and they will have to move on a lot of fringe players to offset this huge spending spree. It is reported (below) that Chelsea will pay the Norwegian side $12.7 million for Fofana. As for De Jong, well, Chelsea’s priority is to sign a center back but with Jorginho and N’Golo Kante coming towards the twilight of their careers, De Jong is a very similar player and would slot in very nicely to safeguard the future of Chelsea’s midfield. Chelsea will be in the mix and even though they have Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic and Kante in central midfield, they are trying to lock down at least one world-class midfielder who will be the heartbeat of their team for the next five to six years.

Brentford should get the easy win here to keep Southampton scrambling for points to survive relegation. Toney, Mbeumo, and Mikkel Damsgaard will start for the Bees with Vitaly Janelt, Christian Norgaard, and Mathias Jensen taking midfield roles. As a team, the Bees make 10.5 total shots, 4.4 corners, and 1.6 goals per game despite a 44.1% ball possession rate. Since the turn of the year, the Bees had just two defeats in all competitions – their second game in 2023 which resulted to an FA Cup exit from West Ham United, as well as a 1-0 defeat last timeout against Everton. The Bees are currently in ninth place in England’s top flight, scoring 40 goals and conceding 33. The Bees are also perfect in their penalty kicks, going 6-for-6 this season. Juan Larios and Valentino Libramento are absent in this game, while Ainsley Maitland-Niles appears to be in doubt. Che Adams has four goals and three assists for the team while Romain Perraud has four goal involvements for the team. The former Soton youth product leads the team with six goals and two assists, and he gets most of his goals by the way of free kicks. Only five points separate them from 12th-placed Crystal Palace, so Southampton will be determined to get the three points here. However, this season will not be any different, as they occupy the bottom spot with 12 games to go. The relegation battle in England still remains intense, as 12th-placed Crystal Palace just has a five-point advantage against Southampton.
