Everything seems to be going wrong for Newcastle this season but their luck could change at Southampton.

Rafa Benitez's side have had a nightmare set of fixtures and were unlucky to lose 1-0 at home to Brighton last Saturday.

They have been creating plenty of chances and might need to take just one to overcome Southampton, who have achieved just one Premier League home victory in 2018.

Saints have had a much less testing run of games and are only four points better off than their lowly visitors.

Newcastle draw no bet
