THE LOWDOWN
SOUTHAMPTON
- Southampton maintained their impressive recent run which has seen them not lose in their last four games, most recently beating Everton 2-0 at St. Mary’s.
- Full-back Romain Perraud is available again following his bout of COVID-19 status, whilst Alex McCarthy, Lyanco and Nathan Tella remain injured.
NORWICH
- Norwich head into this match rock bottom of the Premier League and in desperate need of three points, having suffered successive defeats leading into this one.
- Dean Smith has been rocked by the news that Adam Idah will be ruled out for the rest of the season due to knee injury and he, alongside Andrew Omobamidele, will miss out here but Tim Krul, Lukas Rupp and Jakob Sorensen are back in training.
THE TEAM NEWS
SOUTHAMPTON
PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Forster; Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Salisu, Perraud; S. Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Elyounoussi; Broja, Adams
UNAVAILABLE: McCarthy (Injured), Lyanco (Injured), Tella (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE:
NORWICH
PREDICTED XI (4-5-1): Gunn; Aarons, Hanley, Gibson, Williams; Sargent, Normann, Gilmour, McLean, Rashica; Pukki
UNAVAILABLE: Omobamidele (Injured), Idah (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Krul (Injured), Sorensen (Injured), Rupp (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Southampton find themselves in an excellent position to kick on in the table courtesy of this recent unbeaten run and will be confident that they can take advantage of Norwich’s recent struggles. Most impressive from the Saints’ perspective has been their attacking potency, but having combined that with defensive stability against Everton this past weekend, they now look a seriously strong team. It’s difficult to see the visitors not conceding against a side which boasts the likes of James-Ward-Prowse pulling the strigs, not to mention to pace of both Che Adams ad Armando Broja up front. Provided the hosts’ backline can maintain the level of performance shown against Everton, then Southampton should come out on top here.
Tip: SOUTHAMPTON TO WIN
