When can Southampton be relegated from the Premier League?

Southampton suffered yet another defeat recently and are on the verge of being relegated from the Premier League.

Ruben Selles' side were beaten 4-3 by Steve Cooper's Nottingham Forest on Monday and have not won a game since March.

The Saints currently sit bottom of the league standings in what has been a woeful season for the club.

After parting ways with Ralph Hasenhuttl back in November, the club appointed Nathan Jones in an attempt to get Southampton up the table. However, Jones was sacked in February having won just one of his eight league games in charge. Selles was then appointed the club's interim manager until the end of the season, but it hasn't got any better for the side.

But when can Southampton get relegated from the Premier League? Mail Sport provides the answers below.

When can Southampton be relegated?

Southampton can officially be relegated this weekend if they drop points at home to Fulham on Saturday.

The club are currently six points behind Leicester City and Leeds United, who both have a better goal difference than the Saints.

Following Everton's shock 5-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion on Monday, the Toffees currently sit 17th in the league standings with 32 points.

With the Saints currently on 24 points, a defeat against Marco Silva's side this weekend will mean that the club can only pick up a maximum of 30 points from their final two games.

Even if they draw at home to Fulham this weekend, it still won't be enough to keep them in the division.

What are their remaining fixtures?

With Fulham still to come, it is fair to say that the club's remaining fixtures after this weekend are tough.

The Saints travel to Brighton on Sunday, May 21, in the penultimate game of the season.

Selles' sides will then face Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool at home on the final game of the season on Sunday, May 28.

Southampton's remaining fixtures, as well as kick-off times, for the rest of the season are as followed:

When were they last in the Championship?

It's been 11 years since the club were last in the Championship. In the 2011/12 campaign, the club earned promotion to the Premier League after finishing second.

The Saints finished just one point behind champions Reading and two points above third-place West Ham.

Rickie Lambert was the league's top scorer that season with 27 as he helped guide the Saints back to England's top division for the first time since 2005.
