Southampton manager Claude Puel says Saturdays opponents Liverpool have to be considered among the title favourites. But Puel says his team are more than capable of competing with the Premier Leagues big guns and is expecting them to give a good account of themselves.Saints are 10th in the table, having made a solid start to life under Puel, but Liverpool are sitting atop the standings, with eight wins and just one defeat from their first 11 games.

Charlie Austins goals have rescued Southampton at times this season He hopes the rest of his squad can start to take some pressure off Charlie Austin, who has scored five of their 12 Premier League goals this season.Hes efficient in front of goal, and its important for the squad. Hes also scored many penalties. Always its important to keep him at a good physical level, Puel added.But I hope other players can score also. Its important other players have the possibility to score: offensive midfielders, defenders from free-kicks. We have a statistic: we are third (in) the number of chances every game, and the least efficient. Free-scoring Liverpool will visit St Marys on Saturday Puel added that he expects to have a fairly fit squad to select from for the visit of the leaders.We will see in the last training session before the game, he said.I think all the players are okay and there wont be any surprises. Cedric has come back to training, [Ryan] Bertrand trained yesterday also.Shane Long also came back to training but I dont know if they are physically ready to play. We will see on Friday.Dusan Tadic suffered a suspected broken nose while in action for Serbia against Wales last weekend but is expected to play with a face mask.Normally he will be available for this game, Puel said. He spoke to the doctor and its OK for him.Goalkeeper Fraser Forster withdrew from the England squad with a slight injury but has been passed fit to line up against the Reds.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday and get the first six months half price!

NFL senior vice president Dean Blandino acknowledged Tuesday the bad visual of a controversial fumble ruling in a Week 4 game between the Cleveland Browns and Washington Redskins. But in an appearance on the NFL Network, Blandino said line judge Sarah Thomas awarded possession to the Redskins long before Browns running back Duke Johnson Jr. emerged from the pile with the ball.Blandino did not directly answer a question about whether Thomas got the call right, saying: We dont have evidence [on replay] that Washington recovered it or Cleveland recovered it, so we have to go with what the official called on the field. The play occurred with nine minutes, 41 seconds remaining in the Redskins eventual 31-20 victory. Screen grabs circulated around the Internet and social media showed Thomas pulling players off the pile -- presumably looking for the ball -- while Johnson stood next to her, holding it high above her head. But Blandino said thats not what happened. According to Blandiino, Thomas saw a Redskins player recover the ball before Johnson pulled it away.ddddddddddddWere not digging at that point [when Johnson had the ball], Blandino said. What were doing is signaling to the players that possession has been established so that they dont continue to fight, and we do that for player safety reasons. The official box score credited Redskins linebacker Will Compton with the recovery. There is no evidence of that on replays of the broadcast, nor was there on any angle reviewed by officials after the play. The NFL replay system requires clear and obvious evidence of a mistake to overturn a call.There is never an angle that shows Johnson recovering the football on the ground, Blandino said, and the player coming out of the pile with it is not sufficient evidence, because we all know that the ball can change hands in the pile.
