The 2016–17 Southampton F.C. season is the club's ongoing 18th season in the Premier League and their 40th in the top division of English football.[1] In addition to the Premier League, the club are also currently competing in the FA Cup, the EFL Cup and the UEFA Europa League. The season is the club's first with manager Claude Puel, who took over from the departed Ronald Koeman on 30 June 2016.[2] As of 3 December 2016 the club are 11th in the Premier League table, having won four, drawn five and lost five of their opening 14 games of the season.[3] They are also second in their UEFA Europa League group,[4] and have advanced to the semi-finals of the EFL Cup.[5]

Following the end of the 2015–16 season, Southampton released goalkeeper Will Britt, midfielder Gastón Ramírez and defender Josh Debayo, while veteran goalkeeper Kelvin Davis retired.[6][7] The club also sold six players – striker Juanmi to Real Sociedad,[8] midfielder Victor Wanyama to Tottenham Hotspur,[9] winger Sadio Mané to Liverpool,[10] striker Graziano Pellè to Shandong Luneng,[11] defender Bevis Mugabi to Yeovil Town,[12] and defender Jordan Turnbull to Coventry City.[13] Goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga and striker Sam Gallagher were sent out on full-season loans,[14][15] while defender Jason McCarthy and midfielder Dominic Gape left on loans running until January.[16][17]

In the summer transfer window, the Saints made a number of signings. First, on 1 July, they bought winger Nathan Redmond from Norwich City for a fee in the region of £10 million,[18] before Danish midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg joined from Bayern Munich for a reported fee of £12.8 million ten days later.[19] On 1 August, goalkeeper Alex McCarthy joined from Crystal Palace for an undisclosed fee, while French defender Jérémy Pied joined on a free transfer from OGC Nice on the same day.[20] Shortly before the transfer window closed, the club signed Moroccan midfielder Sofiane Boufal from Lille for a club record fee of £16 million,[21] as well as free agent goalkeeper Stuart Taylor.[22]

Pre-season

Southampton began their pre-season preparations against the D.C. United Under-23s on 15 July 2016, winning 2–0 thanks to a first-half goal from James Ward-Prowse and a late penalty by Jay Rodriguez.[23] Commencing a tour of the Netherlands, the Saints beat PEC Zwolle 4–0 on 23 July, with Charlie Austin opening the scoring before new signings Nathan Redmond (twice, either side of half time) and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (with an 88th-minute penalty) scored their first goals for the club.[24] Four days later, the side won their third game in a row by beating FC Twente 2–1, with defender Virgil van Dijk and striker Sam Gallagher getting on the scoresheet.[25] The club ended their Dutch tour by extending their winning run to four with a win over FC Groningen on 30 July, the only goal scored by Austin.[26]

Upon their return to England, the Saints hosted Spanish side Espanyol on 3 August, which they drew 1–1 to end their winning run.[27] Midfielder Oriol Romeu opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half, but Felipe Caicedo equalised for the visitors in the second half through a penalty, which was awarded for a foul in the penalty area by van Dijk on Léo Baptistão.[27] In their final pre-season friendly, Southampton beat Athletic Bilbao 1–0 thanks to a goal from Shane Long just before half-time.[28]

Premier League

August–October 2016

Claude Puel took over from Ronald Koeman as Southampton manager at the beginning of the 2016–17 season.

Southampton began the 2016–17 Premier League season on 13 August 2016 with a home fixture against Watford, which ended in a 1–1 draw.[29] Watford midfielder Étienne Capoue opened the scoring for the visitors within ten minutes, before winger Nathan Redmond scored on his debut shortly after half-time to seal a point for the hosts.[29] The following week the club travelled to Old Trafford to face Manchester United, losing 2–0 to drop to 13th in the table.[30] Zlatan Ibrahimović opened the scoring for the hosts shortly before half-time, and later scored his second from the penalty spot after the break following a foul by Jordy Clasie on former Southampton defender Luke Shaw.[30] On 27 August, the club drew 1–1 with Sunderland at St Mary's Stadium.[31] The game remained goalless until late in the game, when Jermain Defoe opened the scoring with a penalty for a foul by José Fonte, before Jay Rodriguez equalised five minutes before full-time.[31] The draw saw Southampton drop further down the table to 15th.[31]

Following a break for international fixtures, Southampton faced Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on 10 September, losing 2–1.[32] The Saints opened the scoring within the first 20 minutes, when a Dušan Tadić free kick deflected off goalkeeper Petr Čech into the goal.[32] Laurent Koscielny equalised for the hosts ten minutes later with an overhead kick, and in added time at the end of the game Santi Cazorla scored a controversial penalty to secure the win.[32] The Saints picked up their first league win of the season the following week when they beat Swansea City by a single goal, scored by Charlie Austin.[33] On 25 September, Southampton travelled to the London Stadium to face West Ham United, winning 3–0 to move up to the top half of the league table.[34] The Saints dominated much of the game, with Austin opening the scoring just before half-time with his fifth goal in four games (in all competitions).[34] Tadić scored in the 62nd minute to double the visitors' lead, before substitute James Ward-Prowse scored in injury time to make it three.[34]

Southampton faced league champions Leicester City on 2 October in a game that ended goalless.[35] Austin came closest to scoring in the first half, hitting the post once and heading on goal twice.[35] The striker was also denied in the second half by Kasper Schmeichel, while Jamie Vardy saw his side's best chance blocked later on.[35] After another international break, Southampton hosted Burnley on 16 October, winning the game 3–1.[36] After a goalless first half, the Saints scored three goals in 15 minutes to take a commanding lead, with Austin opening the scoring after 52 minutes and Redmond scoring on 60 minutes.[36] Austin scored a penalty six minutes later to make it three, before Sam Vokes also converted from the spot for the visitors.[36] The following week, Southampton drew 1–1 with Manchester City.[37] Redmond opened the scoring for the Saints in the 27th minute after a mistake by City defender John Stones, although the visitors did not have many more chances to score in the first half.[37] After the break, the home side equalised quickly through Kelechi Iheanacho, but saw a number of chances to win the game prevented by Fraser Forster in the Southampton goal.[37] The month ended with a 2–0 loss at home to Chelsea, thanks to goals from Eden Hazard and Diego Costa.[38]

November–December 2016

On 6 November, Southampton lost 2–1 at the struggling Hull City.[39] The Saints went a goal up within six minutes, when Charlie Austin scored a penalty awarded for a foul by Curtis Davies.[39] The visitors continued to dominate throughout the rest of the first half and into the second, although the hosts equalised through Robert Snodgrass in the 61st minute.[39] Within two minutes, Hull went 2–1 through Michael Dawson, holding on for an unlikely win.[39] On 19 November, the club returned from another international break to face Liverpool at St Mary's, which ended in a goalless draw.[40] Former Saints winger Sadio Mané came close to opening the scoring for the visitors twice in the first half, before Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Nathaniel Clyne also missed good chances later on, with the home side's defence playing strongly to keep Liverpool out.[40] The following week, Southampton beat Everton (managed by former Saints boss Ronald Koeman) by a single early goal to return to tenth in the league table.[41] Charlie Austin scored in the first minute to put the hosts ahead, converting a cross from debutant Josh Sims.[41] Southampton continued to dominate possession and chances on goal throughout the match, with James Ward-Prowse coming closest to doubling his side's lead in the second half.[41]

The Saints lost 3–0 to struggling Crystal Palace in their first game of December, dropping down a place in the league table as a result.[42] Christian Benteke opened the scoring for the home side in the 33rd minute after a poor clearance from Fraser Forster, before James Tomkins double Palace's lead just a few minutes later from close range.[42] The visitors enjoyed the majority of possession and chances on goal, but Benteke struck again late on to secure the victory.[42]

Matches

FA Cup

As a club competing in the Premier League, Southampton will enter the 2016–17 FA Cup in the third round.[44]

EFL Cup

Crystal Palace (21 September 2016)

As a club competing in both the Premier League and the UEFA Europa League, Southampton entered the 2016–17 EFL Cup in the third round.[45] On 21 September 2016 the club hosted Crystal Palace, beating the fellow Premier League side 2–0 to advance to the fourth round.[46] Charlie Austin scored his fourth goal in three games in all competitions from the penalty spot in the 33rd minute to open the scoring, following a foul by Martin Kelly on Shane Long.[46] After the break, young midfielder Jake Hesketh scored his first goal for the club (in his first senior appearance since December 2014) to double Southampton's lead, which they held until the end to ensure their place in the fourth round of the tournament.[46]

Sunderland (26 October 2016)

In the fourth round of the EFL Cup, Southampton were drawn at home against Sunderland.[47] The Saints beat the visitors on 26 October by a solitary goal to advance to the fifth round of the tournament.[48] The only goal of the game was scored by Moroccan winger Sofiane Boufal's long-range strike into the top corner, on his first start for the home side since his move in the summer.[48] Very few chances were enjoyed by either side throughout the 90 minutes (Southampton had only one shot on target, while Sunderland had two), and Sunderland manager David Moyes was dismissed by the referee late on in the game as he and his side appealed for a penalty following a tackle by Maya Yoshida on Victor Anichebe.[48]

Arsenal (30 November 2016)

On 30 November 2016, Southampton faced Arsenal in the fifth round of the EFL Cup, winning 2–0 to advance to the semi-finals of the tournament for the first time since 1987.[49] Jordy Clasie opened the scoring within the first 15 minutes of the game with his first goal for the club, striking from the edge of the penalty area after Sofiane Boufal's initial effort was blocked.[49] The home side increased the pressure in search of an equaliser, but the Saints struck again through Ryan Bertrand shortly before half time to double their lead going into the break.[49] The Gunners began the second half the stronger side, but the Saints later responded and came close to scoring a third goal, with Boufal and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg coming close late on.[49]

Liverpool (11 January 2017)

Southampton will face Liverpool in the semi-final of the tournament, with the first leg to be played at St Mary's Stadium on 11 January 2017 and the second to be played at Anfield in the week commencing 23 January 2017.[5]

UEFA Europa League

Sparta Prague (15 September 2016)
Charlie Austin scored twice in the opening game of the Europa League to help Southampton to a 3–0 win.

Southampton entered the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League at the group stage, when they were drawn in Group K with Internazionale, Sparta Prague and Hapoel Be'er Sheva.[50] In the opening match against Sparta Prague on 15 September 2016, the Saints picked up their first win of the season when they beat the Czech side 3–0.[51] Charlie Austin opened the scoring with a fifth-minute penalty, before doubling his side's lead 20 minutes later with a header.[51] Jay Rodriguez scored a third in added time at the end of the match to send Southampton to the top of the group.[51]

Hapoel Be'er Sheva (29 September 2016)

In their second match of the tournament, the Saints were held to a goalless draw at Israeli champions Hapoel Be'er Sheva.[52] The game did not feature many goalscoring opportunities for either side in the first half, which Hapoel largely dominated, although James Ward-Prowse had a number of chances on goal after the break.[52] The home side came closest to winning the game in the second half through Maor Melikson and Ben Sahar chances, however the deadlock stayed unbroken and both sides remained on level points at the top of the group table.[52]

Internazionale (20 October 2016)

On 20 October 2016 the Saints travelled to the San Siro to face Internazionale, losing 1–0 to the Italian side.[53] The visitors almost scored on a number of occasions in the first half, notably when Ward-Prowse's shot went over the crossbar and Cuco Martina's went wide of the post.[53] Antonio Candreva scored the only goal of the game in the 67th minute, before Marcelo Brozović received a second booking and was sent off ten minutes later.[53] However, Southampton could not take advantage of the extra player and succumbed to their first defeat in the tournament.[53]

Internazionale (3 November 2016)

Southampton hosted Internazionale on 3 November 2016, winning 2–1 to secure second in the group K table.[54] After Inter captain Mauro Icardi opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, the Saints were awarded a controversial penalty for a handball by Ivan Perišić just before half time, while Antonio Candreva was booked for an off-the-ball incident involving Sam McQueen.[54] Dušan Tadić's penalty was saved by Samir Handanović, before the half ended with more drama between the players of both sides.[54] The hosts increased the pressure in the second half, leading to defender Virgil van Dijk equalising in the 64th minute with a shot in the box following a corner.[54] Less than five minutes later, Southampton went ahead as Yuto Nagatomo turned Tadić's cross into the Internazionale goal.[54] Southampton held on and almost scored a third for an historic win.[54]

Sparta Prague (24 November 2016)

On 24 November, Southampton lost at Sparta Prague by a single goal to remain second in the group.[55] Despite dominating possession for most of the match, the Saints enjoyed few clear chances and went behind early on when defender Costa Nhamoinesu scored a volley from close range following a free kick, which was poorly defended by the Premier League club.[55] Goalkeeper Fraser Forster made a number of saves to deny further goals, which Prague threatened to score later on in the game.[55] The result left Southampton needing a goalless draw or win over Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the final group stage game in order to proceed to the knockout stages.[55]
