Southampton v West Bromwich Albion: match preview

These two sides are sitting in mid-table but may feel under pressure by kick-off, when all but one of the teams below them will have played. Southampton have won only once at St Mary’s this season, while West Bromwich Albion are winless in their past six league games. Mauricio Pellegrino will be looking for a repeat performance from the inconsistent Manolo Gabbiadini after his double against Newcastle, while goalkeepers Ben Foster and Boaz Myhill both face late fitness tests for the visitors.
