Southampton is famous for being a selling club that has sold the likes of Dejan Lovren, Adam Lallana, Nathaniel Clyne, among others, but not long ago they were in the League Cup final and even qualified for the Europa League, only to struggle with relegation last season. They showed signs of improvement when they drew their first league game of the season 0-0 against Burnley at home, before going on a 2-games losing streak. However, they bounced back to winning ways against this same opponent at the Carabao Cup and defeated Crystal Palace 0-2 away from home in their last league game. There have had striker issues over the past few seasons, but the signing of Danny Ings looks to be a smart decision, and he has scored two goals already. Brighton may have beaten Manchester United already this season, but they have one of the worst away records in the Premier League. They come into this game on the back of 4 straight away losses, and they have not won any of their last 15 away games, a run that stretches to November 2017 when they beat Swansea away. Southampton haven’t lost any of their last six Premier League games against Oppositions from the South Coast, and Chris Houghton has won just once in nine trips to the Saint Marys.

England were brought back down to earth in their game against Spain on Saturday, and after a sweet run at the World Cup, the Three Lions showed in that game why their manager said they had overachieved in Russia. They were beaten 2-1 by the former World Champions at Wembley to continue their rather unimpressive run of goal returns when they play at home. This English team is almost the same as the one who played at the World Cup, with Raheem Sterling pulling out, and Luke Shaw injured, a few changes might take place in this game, but we expect the same back three that featured the impressive Joe Gomez. Would the Three Lions continue their dominance over Switzerland? Switzerland made a minor tactical change in their last game against Iceland and they beat the European minors by 6 goals in their last match. With Xerdan Shaqiri running the show from attacking midfield, the Swiss showed in that game just how abundantly talented they are. Both of these sides have decent records over the past couple of years, but there is a certain lack of goals shining through at both ends of the pitch. Since Southgate took charge in September 2016, England have seen seven of their 12 home games end with fewer than three goals scored, including back to back goalless draws against Germany and Brazil. England have lost just one of their 14 meetings with Switzerland, and four of the last five encounters have resulted in a win for The Three Lions. The last of these was in 2015 in the qualifying campaign for Euro 2016, with England winning both fixtures 2-0.

This friendly match pitches two teams who just played their UEFA Nations League games with different degrees of success, as Poland looks to build on their good start, while Ireland looks to forget their shocking start. The Polish national team nearly knicked a win against Italy last week after they took a first-half lead through the in-form Piotr Zielinski, however, Jorginho scored a second-half penalty to help the Azzurri earn a 1-1 draw. Poland would be looking to rest their star men for this game and test the many exciting young prospects they have named for this international break. The Republic of Ireland started their Euro Nations League campaign in the worst possible start after they were beaten 4-1 by Wales in their first game, and Martin O’Neil would now be looking to give the British nation’s fans something to smile about in this game. Ireland seems to have a really poor pool of talent at the moment especially in their attack, and that has made it difficult for them to play an exciting brand of football. Defensively they have been good, but conceding 9 goals in just two games against Denmark and Wales means that Poland can also pick them apart in this game. These two sides last met during the qualifying campaign for Euro 2016, with Poland winning this fixture 2-1.
