Prediction

  • Middlesbrough bounced back well after falling behind against fellow strugglers Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night with Darragh Lenihan's second-half goal earning a point for the Teessiders. However, an inferior goal difference means that Michael Carrick's side remain bottom after seven games with no wins to their name.
  • Southampton couldn't produce a response to Omari Hutchinson's first-half goal in midweek as the Saints slipped to a disappointing 1-0 home defeat. After three successive league defeats, Russell Martin is already coming in for plenty of criticism with the team struggling at both ends of the pitch.
