Southampton
  • Newcastle could head into the new Premier League season with as many as seven players sidelined.
  • Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles remain absent with long-term injuries.
  • Sandro Tonali's FA suspension will come to an end at the end of August.
  • Gavin Bazunu will remain sidelined with an Achilles injury until early 2025.
  • Kamaldeen Sulemana is still two to three weeks away from returning, while Adam Lallana and Ross Stewart are both working on their match fitness.

Prediction

  • Newcastle will be looking to bounce back from last season's seventh-placed finish, as they go back on the hunt for European football once more.
  • Southampton return to the top-flight following success in the Championship play-offs, with the sole aim of Premier League survival.
