The home side may have to make do without the injured Sung-Yeung Ki for this clash.

Saints marching again

Southampton have won four of their last five Premier League matches. having drawn the other. As a result, they have climbed back up to seventh place in the table, and now have one eye on a Europa League qualification spot.

In their most recent game, Ronald Koeman’s bagged a 1-0 home win against West Ham United. But despite their recent reversal of fortunes, they have still only one won of their last six games on the road.

Matt Target and Florin Grados are both still injured but Jay Rodriguez is close to a return and could feature.
