Leicester Home Lost 1 – 2
Vestergaard and Elyounoussi recovered from illness and injury to face Leicester, giving Elyounoussi a first start, but there were two other changes and I can’t help but think a more settled approach would help the side. As it was there wasn’t even a place on the bench for Gabbiadini and Yoshida (the day after his […]

Burnley Home Drew 0 – 0
Another summer of change at Southampton, in common with just about every other club except Tottenham.

After a break of one year due to our Finland tour in 2017, the London Saints returned to familiar pastures this year, or did we?
