Southampton have parted ways with Ivan Juric a day after the club’s relegation from the Premier League was confirmed.

Saints, rock-bottom of the top flight, were sent back down to the Championship on Sunday following a 3-1 defeat at Tottenham.

With seven matches still to play, it is the earliest a Premier League club has ever been relegated in terms of games remaining.

With the club still marooned on 10 points, it could get even worse. They have seven games left to add to their points tally and match or better the 11 points Derby County collected in the 2007-08 campaign.

But Juric will not be leading them in that fight to avoid further humiliation.

A statement confirming his departure said: ‘Ivan came to Southampton at a tough time and was tasked with trying to improve a squad in a difficult situation. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen performances progress the way we had hoped, but we would like to thank Ivan and his staff for their honesty and hard work as they fought against the odds to try and keep us up.

‘With relegation to the Championship now confirmed, we believe it is important to give fans, players and staff some clarity on the future as we head into a very important summer.

First team coach Simon Rusk is set to charge until the end of the season, assisted by Adam Lallana.

Juric arrived at St Mary’s in December, replacing Russell Martin who guided the club back to the top flight last season.

The Croatian picked up a point against Fulham in his first game in charge just before Christmas, adding just three more to that tally since.

In is 14 Premier League games in charge, Juric lost 12 of those.

Juric aimed a final swipe at the club on Sunday following the defeat at Tottenham, warning years of recruitment failure have created deep-rooted problems on the south coast.

‘‘Recruitment is everything in football,’ said Juric.

‘We have a lot of talented young players, but with not many games in the Premier League. What I noticed most in three or four months here is the completely different physicality between us and the other teams in the league.

‘Now is the moment to understand the mistakes the club made in the last three or four years and start to create something really good.’

The stats behind Southampton’s morbid season

Juric has won just one of his 14 Premier League matches in charge of Southampton, losing 12 of them.

Saints were nine points adrift of safety when he came in and today are 22 points behind 17th place Wolves.

Southampton’s two heaviest defeats this season have both come at home, with the club battered 5-0 by Tottenham and Brentford in December and January respectively.

Can Southampton earn the point they need to avoid more horrific history?

Southampton have seven games left to pick up the point that would see them draw level with Derby’s record of 11 from 2007-08.

Juric may look to the game against Leicester, also looking doomed 15 points from safety, as a chance to get some final desperate points on the board.

There are also games against sides who are heading into the season run-in with very little to play for. But Juric will of course have their own problems motivating his beleaguered bunch.

Southampton have been relegated from the Premier League and set an embarrassing record in the process.

The Saints’ inevitable relegation from the top-flight of English football was confirmed on Sunday as they were beaten 3-1 by Tottenham.

Brennan Johnson scored a first-half brace for the hosts and Southampton were unable to respond, slipping to their 25th defeat from 31 league games.

Southampton’s Mateus Fernandes did score a consolation goal in injury-time but Spurs went down the other end to put the game to bed through a Mathys Tel penalty.

With seven matches still to play, it is the earliest a Premier League club has ever been relegated in terms of games remaining.

Ipswich Town, Derby County, Huddersfield Town and Sheffield United were all relegated with six games remaining, but Southampton are the first team in Premier League history to know their fate with seven fixtures still left to play.

Southampton’s relegation is the joint-fourth earliest by date, with Derby County still holding that unwanted record following their dismal 2007-08 season.

That season Derby amassed just 11 points – the lowest ever across a Premier League campaign.

Derby fans will be hoping Southampton, currently on ten points, fail to pick up two more in their final seven games and replace them as statistically the worst team in Premier League history.

Southampton have won just two of their 31 league games this season, conceding 73 goals despite signing England international Aaron Ramsdale from Arsenal last summer.

The Saints gained promotion to the Premier League through the play-offs, beating Leeds United in the Wembley final in the most lucrative game in English football.

But they have be completely out of their depth in the top-flight, sacking Russell Martin in December when their hopes of survival already looked bleak.

The team’s struggles have continued under Ivan Juric and Southampton can now start planning for life in the Championship next season.

The majority of the Southampton fans inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium stayed put after the final whistle to applaud the team who came over to the away end to recognise their support.

Saints captain Jan Bednarek said: ‘Let’s be honest, today is just official but we knew for a few weeks that relegation was coming.

‘It was just a matter of time. Next season we will be in the Championship and it is the beginning of something new. We have to build something good around the club.

‘We can’t change the past, the only thing we can do in the last seven games is to enjoy being in the Premier League. We have to improve as players and as a club. Hopefully we are going to build something great.

‘The best thing is that we can learn, we can work hard and we can improve. Hopefully we can perform better in the last seven games. We want to get more points, I don’t think 10 is enough. Hopefully we will get more points.’

Tottenham are in desperate need of a victory when they take on the Premier League’s bottom side Southampton this afternoon.

Things turned ugly for Spurs at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night as Chelsea recorded their fourth straight victory over their London rivals.

Under-fire Ange Postecoglou was booed by the away supporters midway through the second-half as he rang in changes – appearing to goad Spurs fans after his substitutions initially paid off before VAR stepped in.

There was more disharmony at the full-time whistle with Spurs players given a frosty reception from the away end after heading over to applaud those who had made the journey across the capital.

Tottenham’s attention is firmly on next week’s Europa League quarter-final first leg clash against Eintracht Frankfurt.

But a slip-up at home to Southampton would surely be unforgivable.

Saints have just 10 points from what has been a thoroughly miserable return to the top flight and their relegation back to the Championship could be confirmed today.

Derby County hold the record for the lowest points tally in Premier League with eight points.

Southampton have eight games left to spare themselves that indignity and any result in north London today would surely be the last straw for Tottenham fans.

Tim Sherwood hailed Moises Caicedo as a ‘diamond’ for Chelsea following their 1-0 win against Tottenham on Thursday.

Enzo Fernandez‘s header in the second half was enough to secure the victory for Enzo Maresca’s side at Stamford Bridge which has put Chelsea fourth in the Premier League table and five points behind third-placed Nottingham Forest.

In his post-match analysis, Glenn Hoddle believes Chelsea did just enough to see off an underwhelming Spurs side, who have now lost 16 games in the Premier League this season under Ange Postecoglou.

Meanwhile, Sherwood feels Caicedo played an integral role in stopping Spurs’ attacking threat.

‘They didn’t play free-flowing, quick football where it was one, two touch through the pitch quickly, create, get corners, get pressure, it wasn’t that sort of performance from Chelsea,’ Hoddle told Premier League Productions.

‘I think the manager said it right, they did enough to win, they deserved to win, they did just enough to win tonight against Tottenham who were playing a little bit within.

‘If they’d have played against Liverpool tonight, or Man City, or Forest, they might have had some trouble, they really might.’

Sherwood then added: ‘Better structure – Caicedo is a diamond of a player.

‘He breaks up so many attacks, he sits in that midfield, for [Levi] Colwill and [Trevoh] Chalobah tonight he must’ve been a dream.

‘He was just in there and giving it to players who can play in front of him, the likes of Enzo, Cole Palmer, [Pedro] Neto, always threatens in behind even though it wasn’t his best game, they’ve got Nicolas Jackson back.

‘They need to finish in the top five otherwise it’s not a very good season for them.’

Meanwhile, former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink described Caicedo as ‘immense’ against Spurs and welcomed the return of Nicolas Jackson, who made his comeback after a two-month layoff due to a hamstring injury.

‘It’s important for the team, he [Jackson] brings a lot of energy,’ Hasselbaink said.

‘He gives them something else they don’t have. Yes, he needs to get better at converting his chances but he’s creating his own chances a lot of the time.

‘He’s putting defenders on the back foot and that’s what they’ve missed. It’s important having him back.

‘I hope they can take a lot from the game, they’ve got Nicolas back, Palmer back, Caicedo was immense today, he was so important for the team. They played some good football here and there, now until the rest of the season they’ve got to challenge themselves.

‘What was really good today as well is that they kept a clean sheet. If you keep clean sheets you have a much bigger chance of winning games, successful teams that’s what they do – keep clean sheets.’

Enzo Maresca believes Moises Caicedo can be considered the best defensive midfielder in the world after Chelsea’s 1-0 win against Spurs on Thursday evening.

Enzo Fernandez’s header secured the victory over Spurs at Stamford Bridge which has put Chelsea fourth in the Premier League and five points behind Nottingham Forest in third spot.

Caicedo, meanwhile, delivered another dominant performance at the heart of Chelsea’s midfield and the £115 million signing from Brighton remains one of the standout players under Maresca this season.

When Jamie Redknapp suggested after the game that there are not many better midfielders in the world than Caicedo on current form, Maresca told Sky Sports: ‘Absolutely, I completely agree with you.

‘I think in this moment he’s one of the best, or the best defensive midfielder in the world.

‘He’s doing fantastic. The best thing about Moi is that every day he’s working serious, he’s very humble, he’s very kind, he’s polite, he’s a fantastic guy.

‘I think today was another great performance.

‘Also I think we had more players like Trev Chalobah who did a fantastic game. But I think overall the team was good.’

In a separate interview with Chelsea’s in-house media channel, Maresca added: ‘Moi was once again top tonight.

I think Enzo was in the right position again, arriving in the box, Trev Chalobah was also good.

‘But I think all of them, Levi [Colwill] was top, I think Malo [Gusto] was very good, I think the performance has been a complete performance from all of them.’

Colwill also hailed Caicedo’s impact on helping Chelsea keep their fourth successive clean sheet at home in all competitions.

‘Moi is just breaking up everything, he’s making everything look so easy,’ Colwill said.

‘For me, if I had a mic on me when I’m playing, all you’d hear is,’ oh, wow, Moi’, that’s all I do because he makes it so easy for us in the defence because he stops everything before it gets to us.’

Arrow MORE: James Maddison responds to fans who furiously booed Tottenham after Chelsea defeat

Enzo Fernandez couldn’t hide his delight as Chelsea fans mocked Tottenham after another victory over their London rivals.

The Argentina international headed home Cole Palmer’s cross to seal a 1-0 victory for the Blues, a result which moves them into fourth in the race for Champions League qualification.

The result piles more misery on Spurs who are hopelessly marooned in 14th place.

During the game, manager Ange Postecoglou appeared to goal fans after his substitutions were met with chants of ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ with travelling supporters furiously booing players who approached the away end at full-time.

Chelsea fans meanwhile revelled in their rivals’ suffering.

Thursday’s victory was their fourth in a row over Tottenham having also beaten them home and away last season with the chant of ‘Tottenham get battered everywhere they go’ ringing around Stamford Bridge.

Sky Sports cameras picked up one section of fans belting out the chant with the camera then cutting to Fernandez in the dugout having been replaced by Kieran Dewsbury-Hall moments earlier.

With a broad smile on his face, Fernandez was seen bobbing his head along to the chant, enjoying the moment to wind up the opposition supporters.

Fernandez was also on the score sheet in the thrilling 4-3 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in December.

The 1-0 victory didn’t truly reflect Chelsea’s dominance of the game with 12 minutes of injury time setting up a nervy finale with Spurs also having a goal ruled out earlier in the contest.

Enzo Maresca admitted his side had to try their hand at ‘playing dirty’ to ensure there was no late drama.

‘I just said to the players that we don’t work every day to win games in the way we did, or play in the way we did in the last ten minutes, in terms of waiting for them and giving the ball to them,’ Maresca said post-match.

‘But if you want to become a team, you also have to learn to play the way we did in the last ten minutes, to win a game in a dirty way.

‘I think for 90 minutes, until added time, we were in control, we created enough chances to win the game.’

Chelsea will have three key players back in the side when they take on Tottenham in the Premier League tonight.

Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson all returning to first-team training over the break.

Speaking on Wednesday, Enzo Maresca confirmed the trio are all ready and available to take on Spurs.

Palmer missed the defeat to Arsenal before the international break after picking up a muscle injury and was unable to feature in Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad.

However, the talismanic midfielder has now been given the all-clear after two scans and will likely be welcomed straight back into the starting XI as Chelsea look to rediscover their attacking impetus.

Madueke, meanwhile, has missed Chelsea’s last six games since suffering a hamstring injury but will also be in line to start on the weekend.

Jackson has been the longest attacking absentee from Maresca’s side having not featured since the start of February against West Ham.

Despite his hit-and-miss first half of the season, the Blues have sorely missed the Senegalese striker’s presence at the top of the pitch but could throw him straight back into the starting lineup despite his lengthy layoff.

Romeo Lavia however has suffered another injury setback with a ‘small problem’ sidelining him tonight.

Elsewhere, Chelsea have a largely clean bill of health, although Marc Guiu and Omari Kellyman remain sidelined with their respective longer-term injuries.

Moises Caicedo remains one yellow card away from a two-match suspension, but the Ecuadorian is still likely to partner Enzo Fernandez in the middle of the park.

Reece James could slot straight back in at right-back after his impressive showing for England during the international break, while Robert Sanchez is expected to continue in goal despite his mixed performances this season.

Tottenham, meanwhile, will be hoping to welcome back Dejan Kulusevski and Kevin Danso, while Lucas Bergvall is expected to have recovered from an illness that saw him play no part in Sweden’s international break.

Predicted Chelsea XI to face Tottenham

Sanchez; James, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson.

Three Chelsea players are back for the upcoming Premier League clash against Tottenham but Romeo Lavia has suffered a fresh injury problem.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Wednesday morning, Enzo Maresca confirmed Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke were ‘all good’ to feature in Thursday’s London derby.

Lavia’s absence looks set to continue, however, after he suffered a ‘small problem’ n training earlier in the week.

Maresca said: ‘Cole is back, he is okay. Noni is better. Nico is better. They are all good.

‘We’ve said many times, it is a game for players and when they are not there, you struggle.

‘This has happened with us this season, where we had five or six unbelievable months and then had six or seven injuries in a row and we lost something.

‘Now it is good to finish with all of them. Since day one, [the players] are giving everything. The attitude has always been top, every day, and even in the last week because they know how important it is from now on.

‘Every game becomes important. We have nine games to go and hopefully we can finish well.’

Asked about Lavia’s possible return, Maresca added: ‘He was doing better in terms of progress but unfortunately one or two days ago he had a small problem, so we will see in the next hours.’

Palmer, arguably Chelsea’s best and most important player, missed the 1-0 defeat to Arsenal before the international break with a hamstring injury.

The 22-year-old, who is going through the first sticky patch of his career, then withdrew from England’s squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.

Madueke has also been struggling with a hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined since mid-February.

The 23-year-old was one of Chelsea’s brightest players during the first-half of the season but only has two goals since early December.

Jackson, meanwhile, has not played since February 3. The Senegal striker scored nine goals in the first-half of the season but had failed to score in eight games before his injury setback.

Lavia has endured a miserable time with injuries since Chelsea signed him from Southampton in the summer of 2023, missing 62 games through various setbacks.

Chelsea welcome Spurs to Stamford Bridge on Thursday hoping to consolidate their place in the top-four of the Premier League.

Maresca’s side have lost three of their last five league games but face a Tottenham team sitting 14th in the table and without a league win since late February.

‘It’s a huge game,’ Maresca said. ‘We know how important it is for the fans and the club. It is also important for us to try and finish where we are now.

‘Tottenham have a lot of good players, but no matter who is playing, it’s going to be a derby and it’s a Premier League and you can struggle against any team.

‘We want to be direct and quick when they press higher. We cannot be direct and quick if they sit back.

‘In our last three home games, they have all been games with every player behind the ball. When you have players who love to run in behind, it is easier.

‘If we win, you can build momentum for the end. They are all important games and are all three points. We need to win as many games as we can and we will see where we finish.’

On Tottenham’s struggles this season, Maresca added: ‘For part of the season, they had many injuries. It’s not easy to deal with that.

‘They had important players out. I’m not able to give you more reason because you need more details, but injuries have been an important part [of their struggles].’

Arrow MORE: Arsenal sent transfer warning after ‘holding talks’ to sign former Man City star

Timo Werner faces an uncertain future as he is seemingly unwanted by loan side Tottenham or parent club RB Leipzig.

The 29-year-old initially joined Spurs on loan in January last year and was extended last summer to run until the end of the this season.

While there was enough promise in the first six months for Tottenham to want to keep the German around, things have not gone well since.

It has been a very poor season for Spurs and Werner has not contributed much, with no goals in 18 Premier League appearances and one in 21 across all competitions.

Tottenham have an option to buy Werner in the summer for just £8.5m but it seems unlikely that they will take up that opportunity given his form and RB Leipzig sporting director Marcel Schafer appears to have confirmed that.

‘Timo Werner is currently at Tottenham. We spoke with his agent two or three weeks ago. I think the loan isn’t going quite as well as we might hope,’ Schafer told RB Live.

‘[Leipzig will] think about Timo Werner and all the players who are returning in the summer in due course.’

It does not seem likely that the forward has much of a future at Leipzig either, with Schafer adding: ‘We want to have a team on the pitch starting this summer that corresponds to what I’ve already answered several times.

‘We need a breath of fresh air, a new spirit, to recapture that attitude, that life, brutal energy that has distinguished this club.’

Even with Tottenham struggling with a lot of injury problems this season, Werner has started just four Premier League matches and has faced open criticism from manager Ange Postecoglou.

After a Europa League draw with Rangers in December, the Australian said of the former Chelsea man being subbed off.

‘When you’ve got 18-year-olds in the team, it’s not acceptable to me,’ Postecoglou said when asked about Werner’s withdrawal.

‘I said that to Timo, he’s a German international. In the moment we’re in right now – it’s not like we’ve got many options, I need everyone to at least be going out there and trying to give the best of themselves.

‘His performance in the first half wasn’t acceptable. We need everybody, including him, to be contributing because we don’t have the depth to leave people out if they perform poorly.

‘I expect a level of performance from some of the senior guys, and tonight wasn’t that.’

Expanding on those comments at a press conference on Friday morning, Postecoglou said: ‘We’re in a fight here. I’m not going to go around worrying about bruised egos. We want to achieve things, we want to be successful and we’re down to the bare bones in players.

‘If someone is fit and able to contribute and someone who feels they need a bit extra [motivation], they are probably not the right person. If they can’t give me extra right now, that shows me where they are at.

‘We are in a difficult situation because of where we are squad wise. We have 15 fit players. If you want to make excuses there’s millions of excuses of them why they can’t be successful. If that’s you, move on, go somewhere else.

‘Last night wasn’t about Timo Werner wasn’t about him. It could have been someone else. Other players could have given more. It’s not about Timo, it’s about the situation we are in. It could be anyone. It’s not about bringing someone down or blaming someone.’

Arsenal supporters have blasted the club’s ‘stupid’ decision to hold the first north London derby against Tottenham outside the United Kingdom.

The Gunners and Spurs both announced on Monday that they will play a pre-season match in Hong Kong at the 50,000-seater Kai Tak Stadium.

Arsenal’s friendly clash with their rivals will take place on Thursday, July 31 as the two Premier League sides get ready for the 2025-26 campaign.

There have been mixed responses from Arsenal fans across social media, with some fearful of heavy tackles and the risk of injury to key players.

‘Not a great fixture,’ Arsenal supporter @Electrical-Lab-9593 posted on Reddit. ‘Could be crunching tackles we don’t need.’

A second Arsenal fan, @lardoni, said: ‘I don’t like it! It’s gonna get messy!…. Can’t we just batter them as usual in [the] season?’

‘This is so stupid,’ @AlanMerckin added while @Imarnuel1702 posted: ‘Cos meeting that lot at least TWICE every season isn’t bad enough [sick emoji].’

Other Arsenal supporters praised the decision, seeing it as an opportunity to grow the fanbase in Asia and drive revenue to hopefully help the club in future transfer windows.

Arsenal’s managing director Richard Garlick explained the decision to play Spurs in Hong Kong via a statement on the club’s website.

‘Everyone at Arsenal is excited to be visiting Hong Kong in July,’ he said. ‘It’s great to be back with our men’s first team squad after 13 years, and gives us the opportunity to meet so many of our fantastic supporters in the region again.

‘As well as training hard and playing the match, we cannot wait to connect with our Hong Kong supporters in this wonderful part of the world.

‘Playing against Tottenham Hotspur in the magnificent new Kai Tak Stadium will be a great experience for both teams and supporters, and will be a very important part of our pre-season preparations ahead of the new season.’

Tottenham’s chief revenue officer Ryan Norys added: ‘There are few bigger occasions in English football than a north London derby.

‘To play this fixture in Hong Kong will be a huge occasion for our passionate fanbase across Asia, as well as providing ideal preparation for the team ahead of the new season.

‘As is tour tradition, the Club will be involved in so much more than the match itself when we visit, supporting charitable causes, celebrating local culture, delivering football clinics for young people and engaging with fans and partners.

‘We cannot wait to visit such a beautiful place once again.’

Arsenal beat Spurs twice this term, winning the first north London derby of the 2024-25 season 1-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September.

The Gunners emerged victorious again when the two rivals met at the Emirates in January, with Mikel Arteta’s men registering a 2-1 victory.
