Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Southampton and Norwich City. The first-division clash scheduled for 11 a.m. ET will be held at St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton and can be live streamed here free.
For Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino, the match with Norwich City will play a pivotal role in where the club finishes at season's end. The Saints are currently ninth in the Premier League table with 42 points, but that is hardly enough to guarantee the future of Pochettino (h/t to Sky Sports). "I do have one more year on my contract, don't I? That also doesn't guarantee anything in football, either," Pochettino said. "There are two months left in the league, a lot of changes this club is going through at this moment and it is clear right now we need good words to move forwards in a calm and relaxed manner at this football club," he added.
"Right now we're in ninth position in the table and we want to be eighth. That is basically our goal at the moment. To be in the top 10 teams I think is a very good growth for this team and a very important thing for this football club."
Will Pochettino's men help achieve their goal with a victory over Norwich on Saturday? Tell us @SportsWN
