Team News

Southampton
Sunderland
  • Russell Martin could name an unchanged starting XI when his side take on Sunderland this weekend.
  • Right-back Kyle Walker-Peters would have missed the game against Preston in midweek but has an outside chance of featuring on Saturday.
  • Mike Dodds could hand starts to Callum Styles and Nazarii Rusyn when Sunderland travel to St. Mary's this weekend.
  • Centre-back Luke O'Nien picked up his tenth yellow card of the season in midweek and will therefore miss out through suspension.

Prediction

  • Southampton's game against Preston on Wednesday night was postponed due to a fire near St. Mary's, but that unfortunate circumstance means that the hosts have fresher legs heading into gameweek 37.
  • Russell Martin's men returned to winning ways last time out but will need another victory here to keep the pressure on Leicester, Ipswich and Leeds.
  • Sunderland's misery was compounded on Tuesday night as they were beaten 1-0 at home following an early Jamie Vardy goal.
  • The Black Cats looked like strong play-off contenders earlier this season but have now dropped out of the race after losing five Championship matches on the spin.
