The late kick-off on Saturday sees Southampton take on West Brom at St Mary’s in a meeting of teams looking to find some consistency in the Premier League.

Both teams have been solid so far this season and don’t look likely to be troubled by relegation, but also seem very unlikely to make the European places.

The two teams have near identical records this season with the Baggies just one point ahead but with the same goal difference as the Saints.

When is Southampton vs West Brom?

Team news

Southampton have a pretty clear injury list with only Jeremy Pied out of contention.

West Brom have a problem with their goalkeepers as both Ben Foster and Boaz Myhill struggling and neither are confirmed to be fit for the match.

Tony Pulis will definitely be without Oliver Burke, Hal Robson-Kanu and James Morrison.
