Enzo Maresca ahead of Southampton [H] in the Premier League:
๐จ โThis is the worst game for us since we started the season. The toughest game and we need to be ready, otherwise it will be a bad day for us.
โIf you analyse the results, they are there [at the bottom of the table] but in terms of performances they are very good. They were leading against Liverpool, only lost 1-0 to Manchester City and they drew in the last game against Brighton.
โI was in the Championship with Southampton last season and I know how good they are. They are very brave, they want to keep the ball and for sure this will be a very difficult game for us and we need to be ready.โ

โIt happened two days ago so we need to wait a little bit. We are hoping to get some more news in the next days but for sure, he [Fofana] will be out for the next weeks, for sure.โ
โHeโs [James] the same situation, more or less. Heโs getting better but he still needs weeks to come back.โ

Southampton manager Russell Martin:
โI think Enzoโs done a great job. Iโve got a lot of respect for him and what he did at Leicester last season. Iโm really pleased for him that a club as big as Chelsea has recognised the work he did in the Championship and given him the credit because they were brilliant.
I think sometimes the hardest thing for a coach to do is to take another team and make it his own and look very similar in such quick time, which heโs done.โ
