I'm feeling smug as my first pick of the week won last week. Thanks to a strong performance by Chelsea and a great display by Cole Palmer.
This week I'm going bold and picking Southampton! I know I know, why Southampton, they are bottom of the table with no wins one draw and a minus 13 goal difference! Well here's why...... They have been a bit unlucky. They have hit the woodwork six times this season second only to Man United and Chelsea on 7.
They are strong in possession. They have had 6,312 touches which only puts them behind Man City, Spurs and Liverpool. It's also no surprise then that they are 4th behind the same three teams in terms of number of passes.
They are showing signs of improvement. They were 2-0 up in their last home game against a good Leicester side and they only lost their last game to Man City 1-0 away.
All in all, I'm seeing signs of improvement and with Southampton at home on a mild cloudy but not rainy Autumn day against an Everton side that has only won once on the road this season.
If you want to go through a tough gameweek, be different and back The Saints!
Good Luck this gameweek!
Terry
