Southampton’s relegation from the Premier League was confirmed on Sunday. The Saints have earned 10 points from 31 matches and became the first-ever side to be relegated with seven games remaining.

Ivan Juric’s team have taken one point from their previous seven league matches. They lost five in a row and conceded 16 before a 1-1 home draw with Crystal Palace.

A 3-1 loss at Tottenham sealed Southampton’s drop from the top-flight. The south coast club faced 2.65 XG and Mateus Fernandes scored an 89th-minute consolation from the penalty spot.

Midfielder Flynn Downes is suspended.

Attacker Albert Grønbæk is also ruled out through injury.

Aston Villa Form

Aston Villa have boosted their top-four hopes following an upturn in form. Unai Emery’s side have won four of their last five Premier League games.

The Villans are on a three-match winning streak in the Premier League. They beat Brentford 1-0 and Brighton 3-0 away and defeated Nottingham Forest 2-1 at home.

Villa couldn’t maintain winning momentum in the Champions League and lost 3-1 at PSG. Morgan Rogers opened the scoring after 35 minutes before Villa shipped three goals.

Midfielder Leon Bailey is an injury doubt for Saturday’s clash.

Marcos Asensio only played 30 minutes as a substitute against PSG and is expected to start at Southampton.

Verdict

Southampton v Aston Villa

Southampton have conceded the most Premier League goals this season and are unlikely to trouble Villa. Asensio can hit the net against Southampton and fire the Villans to another victory.
