Team News

Southampton
Blackburn
  • Flynn Downes wasn't fit enough to feature against Coventry in midweek and remains a doubt for the visit of Blackburn.
  • Expect Samuel Edozie to earn a start here after he scored the equaliser from the bench on Wednesday night.
  • Jon Dahl Tomasson could make two changes for the trip to St. Mary's this weekend with James Hill and Harry Leonard both returning to the starting XI.
  • Rovers have six first-team injury concerns to contend with on Saturday.

Prediction

  • Southampton were behind for only 17 minutes in midweek as substitute Samuel Edozie cancelled out Haji Wright's goal in a 1-1 away draw against Coventry.
  • Back-to-back draws have seen the Saints lose touch with the top two, but they are now unbeaten in their last 13 league outings ahead of this weekend's clash.
  • Goals from Arnor Sigurdsson and Scott Wharton gave Blackburn a 2-0 advantage against Bristol City on Tuesday night as Rovers sealed all three points in midweek.
  • Jon Dahl Tomasson's side have won four of their last five away Championship matches but face a tougher test on the south coast this weekend.
