Southampton will be looking to continue their unbeaten run in the Premier League with a win against Cardiff City.
The Saints have not lost a single top-flight fixture since the turn of the year, with Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men displaying some vastly improved performances of late.
However, they are still languishing near the bottom three and will be well aware of the magnitude that their game against Neil Warnock’s side presents.
After narrowly falling short at Burnley and being forced to settle for a 1-1 draw, Southampton will be keen to put on a show as they take to St Mary’s Stadium for the first time in February.
Cardiff, though, are playing well. The Bluebirds head into this clash on the back of a 2-0 win against Bournemouth at home.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Maya Yoshida are both back in contention, while Ryan Bertrand is edging ever closer to a return to the starting line-up.
Michael Obafemi and Danny Ings are both out with hamstring problems, and Mario Lemina will also be absent as he continues to recover from surgery on an abdominal injury.
Here is how we predict Southampton to line up against Cardiff.
