Two clubs in opposite ends of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Aston Villa and Southampton. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at Villa Park in Birmingham and can be live streamed here free.

Four successive defeats has left Aston Villa in a state of crisis entering today's confrontation with Southampton. The Villains—though four spots above safety—are just four points clear of the relegation zone. Paul Lambert, should he survive the year, is looking for progress on the pitch next season (h/t to the Guardian). "I don't want another season like this or last year," said the Villa manager.

"Off the pitch, the finances are a lot healthier. That's progress in itself, but things haven't progressed the way I've wanted," he added.

"I didn't come here for it to be like this."
