Team News

Southampton
Middlesbrough
  • Russell Martin should have right-back Kyle Walker-Peters available for the visit of Middlesbrough this weekend after a spell on the sidelines through injury.
  • Ryan Fraser has also returned to full training, and should be a part of the matchday squad.
  • Marcus Forss suffered a hamstring injury early on against Blackburn last weekend and will be sidelined for the trip to the south coast.
  • Expect Finn Azaz to replace him in what will be an elsewhere unchanged starting XI.

Prediction

  • Southampton brushed off a late Sunderland comeback attempt to secure a 4-2 home win in their last Championship fixture.
  • The Saints have won back-to-back league matches, but their two games in hand mean that they trail second-placed Leicester by nine points heading into gameweek 39.
  • Middlesbrough attempted 18 shots without finding a way past Blackburn goalkeeper Aynsley Pears in their last outing as they were held to a goalless draw on home soil.
  • The Teessiders are unbeaten in their last four league games but need to trim the seven-point gap to Norwich soon if they're to keep their play-off dreams alive.
