Bournemouth
  • Ross Stewart remains a long-term absentee for Southampton, while Jack Stephens is also ruled out here.
  • Taylor Harwood-Bellis is set to miss out again.
  • Saints boss Ivan Juric has explained that Flynn Downes' recent absences have been down to attitude concerns following a failed January move, and it remains to be seen if he will return to the squad here.
  • As many as eight players could be missing through injury for Bournemouth.
  • Luis Sinisterra is a doubt for the Cherries, and could play a part here if cleared to do so.

Prediction

  • Southampton followed up only their second league victory of the season, at Ipswich, with a dull and dismal defeat to Burnley in the FA Cup last weekend.
  • The Saints have moved closer to surpassing Derby County's record lowest Premier League points tally of 11, but remain a huge 10 points from safety.
  • Bournemouth, meanwhile, booked their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 victory over Everton at Goodison Park last Saturday.
  • The Cherries are flying high in seventh place, with aspirations of European football next season, and should have far too much quality for their south-coast neighbours here.
  • Expect a similar scoreline to the one that we saw between these sides at the Vitality Stadium back in September.
