Southampton's season has been one of mixed fortunes, with their recent performance leaving many questioning whether they will be able to avoid relegation this season.
The Saints have had a difficult start to the campaign, with losses against Liverpool and Manchester United leading to questions about their ability to compete at the top end of the Premier League. However, they managed to turn things around with a win over Aston Villa, which lifted them out of the bottom three.
However, their recent form has been disappointing, with back-to-back defeats to Wolves and Crystal Palace leaving them just two points above the drop zone. This result was particularly concerning as it came after Southampton had taken a lead against both teams.
With the Saints facing a tough run of fixtures ahead, including games against Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham, there is a real sense that they may struggle to avoid the drop. The club's board will be under increasing pressure to find solutions to their problems if they want to stay in the Premier League.
Despite the challenges they face, Southampton fans remain optimistic that their team can turn things around. They know that they need to improve their defense and attack if they are going to survive in the league, but they also believe that they have the talent to do so.
As the season progresses, it remains to be seen how Southampton will fare. But for now, it seems clear that the team will need to work hard if they want to avoid relegation and continue to play competitive football.
