Southampton Predicted XI: Bournemouth (H)

Southampton will be looking to make sure of their Premier League survival when they host Bournemouth on Saturday.

The Saints came very close to a big three points on Tuesday at Watford but had to settle for one following a late Hornets equaliser.

This all came after Shane Long broke the record for the fastest ever Premier League goal with the time recorded at 7.69 seconds.

That point left Southampton six points clear of the drop with a much better goal difference than Cardiff with just three games to play.

One more win would, therefore, be enough to secure another year in the Premier League beyond any reasonable doubt.

Bournemouth have had a difficult couple of months with their only wins since January coming against Brighton and Huddersfield.

The Saints have some defensive problems for this clash after Ralph Hasenhuttl revealed that Ryan Bertrand is a doubt and Jannik Vestergaard remains out.

Here’s how we predict the Saints line-up.
