Newcastle United are in an unfamiliar position of having to get back to winning ways when they take on Southampton at the weekend.

The nine-game winning steak of Newcastle United came crashing to an end last Saturday when they were dismantled 4-1 by Bournemouth at St. James’ Park.

Bruno Guimaraes had levelled the game with a header but not enough players turned up as the Magpies were soundly beaten.

Eddie Howe put the defeat down to tiredness and his side have now had a full week to recover and prepare for the long trip down to face Southampton as they look to climb back into the Premier League top four.

Here’s everything you need to know about the fixture.

What time does Southampton vs Newcastle United kick off?

Southampton vs Newcastle United will take place on Saturday, January 25, with kick-off coming at 3 pm at St. Mary’s.

Southampton vs Newcastle United team news

Goalkeeper Nick Pope has returned to training after his knee problem and is in the running to make the squad.

In further good news, Sven Botman is fine after being taken off at half-time last weekend and Fabian Schar has fully recovered from illness.

Harvey Barnes, Jamaal Lascelles and Callum Wilson remain sidelined, but Howe has revealed the striker is pencilled in for an early February return.

Southampton, meanwhile, are without their only bright spark this season as Tyler Dibbling has picked up an injury. They are also missing Ross Stewart, Jack Stephens and Kamaldeen Sulemana, with Aaron Ramsdale and Albert Gronbaek Erlykke facing late fitness tests.

Predictions

Newcastle took a heavy blow last weekend but they couldn’t have been given a better tonic to get over it than a match with Southampton.

The hapless Saints are anchored to the bottom of the table and are in the running to beat Derby County’s record for the lowest points tally ever. To make matters worse, they are without their best player.

Providing the squad hasn’t been rocked by last weekend’s defeat, they should cruise to victory on the south coast.

Prediction: Southampton 0-3 Newcastle
