Predicted opposition XI – Middlesbrough (A)

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

Already relegated Middlesbrough will be disheartened by the 3-0 loss to Chelsea last weekend, so this is a game that Southampton must win.

Claude Puel’s side have not been in the best of form, going three games without scoring a goal five matches without a win, which was in early April against West Brom.

Despite their relegation, the Saints must be wary of Steve Agnew’s side. Sunderland beat Hull City 2-0 last Saturday, proving that anything is possible in this league, especially with Saints’ poor form recently.

The last time these two sides met, Sofiane Boufal made the difference, as his 25-yard strike flew past Victor Valdes to win the match for Saints.

Ahead of the clash, it’s time to look at Middlesbrough squad and who will start ahead of this match with Puel’s side.
