Southampton preview: Sit rock bottom
Southampton were knocked out of the FA Cup in their own backyard by Championship side Burnley and now all they have to concentrate on is Premier League survival.
Speaking of which, last time out in the league the Saints secured an impressive 2-1 win at fellow relegation candidates Ipswich thanks to a late goal from Paul Onuachu.
The Saints still sit bottom of the table by seven points and could be without the likes of Jack Stephens, Ryan Fraser, Flynn Downes and Ross Stewart this weekend due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Ramsdale (GK), Bednarek, Bree, Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis, Welington, Aribo, Ugochukwu, Gronbæk, Fernandes & Onuachu

Bournemouth preview: Progressed in the FA Cup
The Cherries bounced back from their 2-0 home defeat in the Premier League against Liverpool by knocking the other Merseyside club out of the FA Cup on Saturday.
This was a true game of two halves in which Bournemouth capitalised on two huge Everton errors in the first half to lead 2-0 at the interval and then survived a second 45 in which the Toffees hit the woodwork on three separate occasions to secure a 2-0 victory.
Enes Unal, Francisco Evanilson, Marcos Senesi, Adam Smith, Julian Araujo, Alex Scott, James Hill, Luis Sinisterra and Julio Soler make up the list of injury concerns for the visitors this weekend.
Predicted lineup: Kepa (GK), Zabarnyi, Kerkez, Huijsen, Christie, Cook, Brooks, Adams, Kluivert, Semenyo & Ouattara

Player to watch: Antoine Semenyo
Antoine Semenyo is enjoying his best season since joining Bournemouth from Bristol City in 2023 and we have selected the Ghana international as our player to watch against Southampton.
Semenyo has made 23 starts in the Premier League this season scoring seven goals and the in-form attacker heads into the Southampton game on the back of five goals in his last ten appearances across all competitions for the Cherries.
Still searching for his first Bournemouth goal
We wouldn't be at all surprised to see Semenyo add to his Premier League goal tally for the season this weekend in a game that we expect to produce plenty of goalmouth action.
