Despite Southampton’s position at the bottom of the Premier League table, Fernandes emphasized that their opponents are fighting for survival and should not be underestimated.
Speaking in a pre-match interview, Fernandes said, "Every game in the Premier League is a battle, and Southampton will come to fight for every point. We must stay focused and treat this match with the same intensity as we would against any top team."
