It is fair to say that Alex McCarthy has been nothing short of exceptional, since being drafted into the first team to replace Fraser Forster. The 28-year-old has been a consistent performer in the side this season and has played a huge role in boosting Southampton’s Premier League survival hopes. Some world class saves against […]

Saints travel to Leicester on Thursday, knowing defeat would pile even more pressure on Mark Hughes’ side, who currently sit five points adrift of safety. Leicester have become a […]
Southampton travel to West Ham this weekend in what will be a potentially season-defining fixture for both sides.
