Premier League prediction speaks Southampton's regressed relegation situation | OneFootball

Southampton's last two defeats have backed Paul Merson's predictions very well. Will the pundit complete a hat trick as he spells a 0-3 loss for the Saints tonight?

Remember, Southampton's scenario, just a month back? Though just 6 points from 21 matchdays, they considered themselves far from relegation thoughts.

Say it destiny, just in a month, the stark reality has hit them. And now, despite 3 points ahead from their previous tally, they regress towards relegation quickly.

The reason? Their recent humiliations at St. Mary's. Had it not demoralized their spirit, we wouldn't have heard such disappointing claim from boss Juric.

Maybe, it's also why there is no excitement about Southampton's fixture today. And if a bit still feels, this Paul Merson prediction will suffice for it.

It's Chelsea Vs Southampton on matchday 27. With this game, Ivan Juric's side starts an away run after consecutive home losses. Still, Merson's Southampton stance continues to be bitter.

What's it this time? A 0-3 loss against Chelsea, who have the same points as the Saints in the last 4 Premier League games.

As, if this scoreline wasn't enough, the former Arsenal man had more for Southampton.

Writing in his Sportskeeda column, Merson mentioned: "This is a must-win game for Chelsea. If they had to pick a game to play in this situation, they would choose Southampton as their opponents any day. Southampton have been atrocious and should get beaten easily."

Surely, such words sting, but we all admit, Merson ain't any wrong with this forecast.

Know an intriguing but impressive fact? Paul Merson has been flawlessly precise with Southampton predictions recently, and this might be his third one straight.

But, if Merson completes a hat trick of claims tonight, its implications for Southampton would be serious. Leave alone a relegation escape, it leaves them with mere games to cross Derby County's lowest points tally.

What do you think, will getting recognised with this record, mark the new low for Southampton? Let's hope it does not.
