Southampton looking to bounce back to the Premier League

Despite their struggles in the Premier League last season, you would have to argue that the core of this squad remains strong enough to mount a serious Championship challenge. What Still adds to that mix will be fascinating to watch.

One Saints fan told us: "Looking at the squad, young forward Jay Robinson has impressed in pre-season after making his debut last term. He will compete with Flynn Downes, Cameron Archer and Ben Brereton Díaz for selection. We have a good squad and most fans are confident of at least reaching the play-offs."

Italy threatened to extend their lead after the break in Sion.
