The matchday programme is back with a night time feel as Southampton welcome Fulham to St Mary’s under the lights in the Premier League.

Shane Long stars as the centrepiece of a black cover, and is the subject of the main feature interview.

The Irishman discusses a range of topics, including life away from football, dealing with criticism and chasing milestones.

The 32-year-old speaks with a wealth of experience in his tenth season as a top-flight player in England, but admits interviews are not his favourite part of the job!

Elsewhere, Oriol Romeu issues a rallying cry ahead of a crucial match, as Saints return to home soil after 18 days away.

David Agbontohoma is the latest youngster to tackle our 20-question Academy feature, while we go back in time with former Fulham loanee Matt Targett to his days as a Staplewood scholar.
