This has been far from the dream return to the Premier League for Southampton so far. They are bottom of the league on just four points. Five points off of escaping the bottom three. They have won just one game.

Not only this but they have an awful record in terms of goals. They have scored the fewest goals in the division having only managed nine. This while conceding the second most goals in the league (24). This will need to change if they are to turn things around this year.
