THE LOWDOWN
SOUTHAMPTON
- Three days after Southampton advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup, they return to Premier League action against Brentford, with the Saints having accrued five points from their last three without defeat in the league.
- Ralph Hasenhuttl has a problem regarding his selection at right-back, with Valentino Livramento out injured and Kyle Walker-Peters a huge doubt, whilst Adam Armstrong could come into the side after starting on the bench in the FA Cup.
BRENTFORD
- Brentford come into this contest on the back of successive victories in 2022, beating Aston Villa in the Premier League before following that up with a win over League Two Port Vale in the FA Cup third round.
- The Bees will be forced to make at least one change from the side that beat Villa, with Frank Onyeka having jetted off to the African Cup of Nations, although left wing-back Rico Henry has a chance of being passed fit having been sidelined through injury.

THE PREDICTION
An exciting game is on the cards here between two teams full of confidence and recently full of goals. Brentford won’t be overawed at all by the trip to St. Mary’s on the back of their win over Aston Villa and will try and take the fight to Southampton, who having successfully held Tottenham last time out with ten-men through the majority of the game, will be hoping to take advantage of the fact that Brentford are without a clean sheet in their last six Premier League fixtures. However, the last time Southampton shut out their opponents in any competition was all the way back on November 5th 2021 against Aston Villa and with that in mind, both teams to score has to be favoured in this one.
Tip: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
