September starts with a bang as Man Utd arrive on the south coast on September 14. The Christmas period sees Southampton visiting London twice, first to visit Fulham on December 21 before returning to play Crystal Palace on December 29, either side of West Ham visiting St Mary’s on Boxing Day.
Saints host Man City on May 10 and are due to play their part in Goodison Park’s last-ever fixture when they visit Everton on May 18, before an unforgiving run-in ends with Arsenal arriving at St Mary’s for the final day of the season on May 25.
