MARTIN KEOWN TALKS TACTICS: Resurgent Southampton will target Leeds' failure to deal with the long ball... they desperately need Javi Gracia to give them some direction

This is turning into one of the greatest relegation dogfights in the Premier League’s 30 years of existence. Only 10 points separate Aston Villa in 11th and Southampton in 20th.

If a side sitting rock bottom like the Saints can march into the home of megabucks Chelsea and win 1-0, no one can sleep easy thinking they’re safe.

Another win on Saturday would take Southampton out of the relegation zone for the first time since November.

Victory would do the same for Leeds, but they are winless in their last 10 and in big trouble.
