Premier League strugglers Southampton and Newcastle will be hoping a win could spark their respective seasons into life when they meet at St Mary's on Saturday afternoon.
Between them, the Saints and the Magpies have netted just 12 goals in their opening nine games, with Newcastle giving away a two-goal lead against Manchester United a few weeks ago.
Although Rafa Benitez's side are yet to win a match in the competition this term, he is confident they are not far away from picking up three points, saying: "We are so close to winning the first game, and we have to believe we can do it."
