Southampton vs Bournemouth Lineups
Southampton
Southampton put in a fantastic performance to earn a draw at the league leaders Arsenal, but their fans will still feel like it was 2pts dropped. Alcaraz fired the Saints into a 1st-minute lead and former Gunner, Theo Walcott made it 2-0 with 14-minutes on the clock. Arsenal pulled a goal back before the break but Southampton sub Caleta-Car made it 3-1 in the 66th-minute. With just 2-minutes left on the clock, Arsenal pulled a goal back and in the 90th-minute, the Gunners scored a dramatic equaliser to make the final scoreline 3-3. Adams, Bednarek, Salisu, Livramento and Larios are all injury concerns but Maitland-Niles does return to the squad.
Predicted Lineup – Bazunu (GK), Ćaleta-Car, Perraud, Walker-Peters, Bella-Kotchap, Elyounoussi, Ward-Prowse, Alcaraz, Lavia, Walcott & Armstrong
Bournemouth
The Cherries were brought crashing back down to earth following a decent run of form when they lost 4-0 in their own backyard to fellow strugglers West Ham. The Hammers took the lead after just 5-minutes and scored two more goals before the break. A fourth goal was added late in the second half to wrap up a dismal 4-0 hammering for a Bournemouth side that had appeared to find their form just at the right time. Stephens, Traore, Fredericks and Stanislas could miss out on Thursday's trip to St Mary's.
Predicted Lineup – Neto (GK), Smith, Stephens, Kelly, Mepham, Rothwell, Lerma, Christie, Billing, Tavernier & Solanke

Player to Watch: James Ward-Prowse
Southampton's captain so often saves the day for the Saints, and how his precious club needs a big performance from their England international.
Ward-Prowse top scores for the Saints this season with 7 league goals, two more than the injured Che Adams. However, for a player that is so good at set-pieces, Southampton haven't seen much in the way of assists from their star player this season.
If Ward-Prowse is to have a good game against Bournemouth on Thursday then it is likely to include a goal that could decide the destination of all 3pts.
