Tonight's live streaming of Southampton vs. Stoke will feature an upset against a team that has been struggling at the bottom of the table in this competition and is struggling in the top flight.

Southampton's struggles are well documented. They have lost eight of their nine league games, drawing the other one. The Potters are third from bottom in the championship, without a win in four games.

Thus, both Russell Martin and Narcisse Perak are in the same old predicament.

From a fan's standpoint, that should be no surprise, but both coaches have taken different approaches. With Stoke having failed to score in four consecutive away games, marksman Tom Cannon, who is expected to make his mark in the Premier League, has a point to prove tonight at St. Mary's.
