In Southampton’s next 7 games they have Arsenal, Man United, Spurs and Liverpool. If those teams don’t resort to shithouse levels of performances then hopefully we can move a few points ahead of them before they come to SJP in early April.
Similarly, Cardiff have Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool and Man United in their last seven games, so from their point of view their next couple are massive, at home to Watford and Everton - two teams prone to a shithouse performance and a 1-0 loss.
