Southampton have returned to action in style, and St Mary’s prepares for its first competitive fixture since early March – it’s official, the Premier League is back!
PREMIER LEAGUE IS BACK!
Saints returned to action in style with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Norwich City at the weekend, opening up a 10-point gap between themselves and the Premier League drop zone.
Following a 104-day absence from competitive football, three second-half goals secured maximum points for Saints, with top scorer Danny Ings taking his seasonal league tally to 16 goals.
Stuart Armstrong, who was lively throughout, notched the second before Nathan Redmond put the gloss on a slick Saints performance – giving a nod to the Black Lives Matter movement with a poignant celebration.
SAINTS POISED FOR ST MARY’S RETURN
It’s another busy week for Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side, who will make a long-anticipated return to St Mary’s Stadium this Thursday, hosting Arsenal (6pm BST).
The Gunners have made a less than productive start to their Premier League return, losing out to both Man City and Brighton and Hove Albion in their first two fixtures back.
Saints will have to contend with two games in the space of four short days this week, with a trip to Watford also planned for Sunday (4:30pm BST).
Both fixtures will be broadcast live on Sky Sports, and you can follow all the build-up and in-play updates across all Southampton FC channels.

Southampton Football Club Season Tickets for the 2020/21 campaign are on sale now.

The club is greatly appreciative of the patience shown by its fanbase in these uncertain times, and we want our supporters to be comfortable in the knowledge that their seat will be ready for them when a return to St Mary’s is allowed.
PLAYERS SUPPORT NHS AND BLACK LIVES MATTER
As Premier League matches resumed this week, players from all football clubs up and down the country wore shirts carrying NHS and Black Lives Matter messaging.
Southampton stands firmly with the Premier League and alongside players, clubs, the FA, EFL, PFA, LMA, PGMOL and all those who oppose discrimination in any form.
