Fulham Vs Southampton Preview<\/h2>\n

Following the sacking of manager Russell Martin<\/a>, Southampton look set to announce ex-Torino and Roma boss Ivan Juric<\/a> ahead of this weekend’s trip to Fulham.<\/p>\n

Juric will take over after Saints parted ways with Martin following their 5-0 home defeat to Tottenham<\/a> last weekend.<\/p>\n

They looked better at times under interim boss Simon Rusk in Wednesday’s 2-1 Carabao Cup defeat to Liverpool<\/a>, but are still a side devoid of confidence.<\/p>\n

Southampton<\/a> head into this weekend bottom of the table, with just one win and five points from 16 games.<\/p>\n

The Saints are nine points from safety, with no team ever staying up having picked up so few points at this stage of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Fulham held league leaders Liverpool to a 2-2 draw last time out. Andy Robertson’s red card at Anfield did help, but Marco Silva’s men have been solid throughout the season to date.<\/p>\n

In a crowded mid-table, they are currently eighth on 24 points. With six wins, six draws and four defeats, the West London side have been strong at home and will fancy their chances against basement-dwellers Southampton.<\/p>\n

New Saints boss Juric may or may not be in the dugout in time for kickoff, but will be up against it as soon as he enters the club.<\/p>\n
