Southampton interim manager Ruben Selles has breathed new life into the bottom of the table outfit. That’s according to goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, who insists the Saints will travel to Leeds United on Saturday with heaps of belief and confidence as they look to pile the misery on their relegation rivals at Elland Road.
Selles, who has been in charge at St Mary’s since the sacking of Nathan Jones earlier this month, led Southampton to a shock 1-0 win at Chelsea last weekend. James Ward-Prowse’s free-kick was the difference at Stamford Bridge and that was enough to bring the club to within three points of safety.
They could climb out of the bottom three entirely with a result in West Yorkshire, depending on how Bournemouth fare against Manchester City and that would be enough to push Leeds to the foot of the table. United will have new head coach Javi Gracia in the dugout, if his work permit comes through in time, and they’ll hope to see progress.
