Southampton return to St. Mary’s on Saturday for a tough match against an in-form Hull City side.
Claude Puel’s men will look to bounce back from a 4-2 loss against Premier League leaders Chelsea despite a good performance, and are hoping to sustain their position in the top half by beating a revitalised Hull City team.
Hull have been relegation favourites for the large majority of this season but since the appointment of Marco Silva, the Tigers have been invigorated and look set to stay up this campaign.
Hull are coming off the back of a 2-0 win over Watford, after Kamil Grosicki and Sam Clucas helped them to overcome an early red card for Oumar Niasse.
Despite needing to win as many games as possible, this is a match that Claude Puel’s side must win, as a loss could take the Saints as low as 13th.
