Southampton can go top of the Premier League with a win over Newcastle on Friday
Southampton take on Newcastle at St Mary’s on Friday night knowing victory will fire them to the top of the Premier League table.
Saints have won four of their opening seven Premier League fixtures and sit three points behind leaders Liverpool, with both sides on a +2 goal difference.
It means even a slender win for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men will catapult them to the top of the pile – for a day at least.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have lost just twice all season and come into this clash having edged Everton 2-1 last weekend.
Steve Bruce’s men are eyeing a top-half finish to the campaign and victory would nudge them into fourth place.

Southampton v Newcastle team news
Southampton: William Smallbone and Mohamed Salisu are rated as doubtful for this game and will have to pass fitness tests to take part.
A knee injury means Danny Ings could also miss out, while Hasenhuttl is sweating on the fitness of Ryan Bertrand and Jan Bednarek.
Newcastle: Matt Ritchie, Dwight Gayle and Martin Dubravka remain out for Bruce.
Jonjo Shelvey isn’t expected to return to the Toon side until after the November international break. Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin should once again start up front.
Our prediction: Southampton v Newcastle
These sides have both performed above expectations so far this season, which makes for what could be a pulsating game on Friday night.
Southampton are unbeaten since their 5-2 drubbing at the hands of Tottenham and are averaging over two goals a game from their past five outings.
This, coupled with Newcastle’s leaky defence, suggests the hosts will pinch the contest by outscoring their opponents in a frantic game. Both sides may have found the net by half time.
Our prediction: Southampton 3-2 Newcastle
