THE PREDICTION
Southampton’s first fixture under new ownership sees them travel to Swansea in the FA Cup third round. Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has always treated the competition with firm respect and he would no doubt love to end the Saints’ long wait for a major trophy. Therefore, a very strong Southampton team is expected to feature in South Wales. Their high-pressing, high-intensity playstyle bodes well for them against a Swansea side who will look to retain possession and play out from the back at all costs. Confidence is likely low in the Swans camp with them having lost their last three fixtures and a fresher Southampton are also in a good position to take advantage of any rustiness shown by the home players who have not kicked a ball in anger since December 11th, so back a Southampton victory with that in mind.
