Did Liverpool or Southampton do the better business in the close season?

Many thought that Southampton would be fighting relegation by now after selling Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Rickie Lambert to Liverpool for £50million in the summer.

But with some shrewd buys like Graziano Pelle and Saido Mane and by keeping Morgan Schneiderlin, Ronald Koeman’s men have proved the doubters wrong by sitting in the top four for most of the season.

Liverpool haven’t lost in normal time in their last 17 games but Southampton only have the league to occupy them as they aim for the Champions League. And you wouldn’t bet against them trying to prove their ex-players wrong at St. Mary’s on Saturday afternoon.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn
