It’s deckchairs on the Titanic in the deep depths of the Premier League this season, with Southampton joining Leeds in the search for a new manager this week.

With Everton swapping Frank Lampard for Sean Dyche last month and Bournemouth replacing Scott Parker with Gary O’Neil way back in August, it means only two of the bottom seven – and none of the bottom four – are still taking orders from the same manager who began the campaign in charge.

The biggest changes have come at Southampton who, coincidentally or otherwise, find themselves rooted to the foot of the table ahead of tomorrow’s trip to Chelsea.

Having begun the season under Ralph Hasenhuttl, Saints sacked the Austrian and signed up for three months of the Nathan Jones experience, before again opting for a fresh start.

Seemingly unperturbed by their recent record, the shortlist for their third ‘permanent’ manager of the season reportedly consisted of three men whose positions were deemed untenable elsewhere this term; Lampard, Steven Gerrard (Aston Villa) and Jesse Marsch (Leeds).
