Five to impress – Middlesbrough (A)

Southampton travel to the Riverside to face relegated Middlesbrough on Saturday.

The Saints will be looking to bounce back from five games without a win, and three games without a goal.

Claude Puel has been under a lot of scrutiny in recent weeks, therefore this is a must-win game for the Saints.

The 3-0 defeat away to now Premier League champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge sealed their immediate return to the Championship.

The Saints are currently sitting at tenth in the league, and with two tough matches against Manchester United and Stoke City on the horizon with the end of the season looming, the Saints must collect three points in order to grab a finishing spot in the top half.

Ahead of this clash, we’ve selected five Southampton players that need to impress during the away game against the already relegated side.
