After failing to secure victory at home to Brighton on Wednesday, Saturday’s Premier League clash at West Brom has further grown in significance for Southampton.
Jack Stephens rescued a point for Saints under the lights at St Mary’s, but the result was not enough to lift Mauricio Pellegrino’s men out of the relegation zone.
West Brom, who sit rock bottom of the Premier League, are only three points behind Saints, who could rise as high as 14th with victory at the Hawthorns.
The Baggies have lost just once at home in their last six, but four of these have ended in draws. Southampton are yet to register a league victory since November, having gone 12 games without a win – which is the worst form in the division.
Alan Pardew has never lost a home game against Southampton, as the former Saints boss hopes to take the spoils, and launch a survival bid.
But where could this game be won or lost for Saints?
