Newcastle United vs Southampton: Lee Ryder's Premier League prediction

Newcastle United have a quick turnaround after their win over Sheff United we Southampton make the long journey to St James’ Park.

The Magpies have lost just once at home this season and will be looking to extend that unbeaten run - a stretch that has gone on since August.

Steve Bruce has hinted at rotating his squad and could make a change or two for the second game in three days.

Lee Ryder’s prediction

On paper this looks like the type of game that United just have to turn up for.

But that is always the danger in the Premier League.

The Saints were battered 9-0 earlier in the season but have managed to pick up their form.

I think United will earn another victory but it could be a narrow one.

Referee

David Coote (Nottinghamshire)

Charity bet

United to grab three points at 8/5.
