THE LOWDOWN
SOUTHAMPTON
- It has been widely speculated that Nathan Jones could lose his job before this weekend after his comments last weekend and Southampton’s poor performances and results. The former Luton boss saw Saints get battered 3-0 by Brentford to extend his poor start at St Mary’s to just one win in seven Premier League matches as boss and Saints’ overall record is one win in ten in the top-flight.
- Jones could set to be without Kyle Walker-Peters and Stuart Armstrong once again, while this game will come too soon for Juan Larios.
WOLVES
- Wolverhampton Wanderers immediately improved under the impressive management of Julen Lopetegui and they are continuing to move away from the bottom three and the relegation places. The visitors come into this one on the back of a comfortable 3-0 defeat of Liverpool in their most recent outing, last weekend.
- Long-term absentee Pedro Neto has a chance of inclusion having made progress in his recovery but Hwang Hee-chan is a fresh injury concern with the South Korean set to spend a few weeks on the sidelines.
THE TEAM NEWS
SOUTHAMPTON
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Bazunu; Bree, Bednarek, Salisu, Perraud; Alcaraz, Lavia; Edozie, Ward-Prowse, Elyounoussi; Adams
UNAVAILABLE: Livramento (Injured), Larios (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: McCarthy (Fitness), Walker-Peters (Injured), S. Armstrong (Injured)
WOLVES
PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Sa; Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Ait Nouri; A. Traore, Neves, Moutinho, Nunes; Sarabia, Cunha
UNAVAILABLE: Chiquinho (Injured), Kalajdzic (Injured), B. Traore (Injured), Hwang (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Lemina (Injured), Neto (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
The home team begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting firmly at the bottom-of-the-table. Southampton were one of the pre-season favourites for the drop and the mid-season appointment of Nathan Jones has only made it more likely they will be relegated, despite his impressive work in two spells at Luton Town. Wolves’ performances have been consistently strong since the return from the FIFA World Cup and Lopetegui’s side come into this having lost just two of the six Premier League games since the break with those defeats coming against Manchester United and Manchester City. An away win is the likeliest outcome of this one.
TIP: WOLVES TO WIN
