    Referee: Robert Jones.
    Assistants:     Lee Betts, Ian Hussin.
    Fourth official:     Dean Whitestone.
    VAR:     Michael Salisbury.
    Assistant VAR:     Scott Ledger.

    Keeping it simple, Nathan has got one of his relatives to Referee!

    Looks like we will be without Livramento, Larios and Theo, Lavia is being assessed.

    Brighton will be without Alexis Mac Allister who is still celebrating in Argentina. Webster and Wellbeck being assessed.

    Can I wish a Happy Christmas to all of my readers and every Saints fan on the planet!

    Fantastic that Macallister won’t be back. Can’t believe how good he was at the World Cup.

    3-1 Brighton for this.

    Can't see NJ turning it around to be honest. Not unless we spend £80m or so on new players

    A gritty 1-1 for me. Not disastrous and something to build on!

    A massive win for the revitalised Saints.

    What comes next should be a lot of fun.

    Agreed. It will be dull and lacklustre from both sides. Low scoring draw for me.

    80M, really? I thought SR had come in and changed things by splashing the cash?

    We definitely need to be active in January but just one decent attacking signing will give us a great chance of staying up imo. We're not a million miles away if we can get a few more goals in the team as there's a lot of dross in the league.

    We're ****ed for sure if we don't sign anyone but I'd be astonished if we didn't. As you've said before it would be beyond baffling for SR to come in and then throw their investment away by making such blatantly poor decisions.

    This one is going to be a draw……which probably would be a slight upgrade on what went on before the new manager

    Get well soon.
    I’m not sure if I have Covid or just a very bad cold, picked up when in the UK :emoticon-0121-angry.

    Can't see many goals in this TBH. Obviously Mac Allister being unavailable is a boost but they're also missing Welbeck and Webster - also good news for us. I predict a nervy 2-1 win.

    If our defence is anything like Tuesday then I can only see a heavy defeat.

    Yes because Brighton score tons of goals.

    23 goals in 14 matches; they aren't exactly goal-shy.

    9 of which came in 2 games against Leicester (who were crazily bad in defence that day) and Chelsea (2 own goals by Chelsea). Take those two games out and it's 14 in 12 games.

    I mean, sure: if you take a team's highest-scoring matches out of the equation for some reason, they will absolutely look like they score fewer goals. Subtract the Bournemouth and Saints matches and Liverpool has a mere 16 in 12.
