Southampton vs Bournemouth Preview
Southampton v Bournemouth is not widely recognised as a derby on the South Coast but the mounting rivalry between the clubs will go to another level if the Cherries contribute to Saints’ relegation from the top flight.
Steven Davies is the only injury concern for Southampton ahead of this weekend’s vital clash against their local Premier League rivals. It’s unlikely Moroccan midfielder Sofiane Boufal will take part following rumours of a rift between player and manager.
Otherwise, Mark Hughes has a full strength squad to choose from which includes defender Jack Stephens who has served his three-match suspension and is expected to return to the starting eleven.
Bournemouth were not in action last weekend giving their players a chance to rest and recover from niggles. Tyrone Mings is back in training but is unlikely to be ready for Saturday’s clash while Adam Smith is being assessed on a daily basis as he recovers from a knee problem. Meanwhile, Junior Stanislas has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.

Southampton vs Bournemouth Prediction
Southampton are four points away from safety but can close the gap on 17th-placed Swansea who play Chelsea in the 5.30pm kick off on Saturday.
The Saints were knocked out of the FA Cup by Chelsea in last Sunday’s semi-final and will be totally focused on survival for the remaining four matches. They drew 0-0 at Leicester last Thursday to end a three-match losing streak and desperately need to end a run of nine home games without a win.
Mid-table Bournemouth only need two points to be mathematically certain of retaining their status in the top flight. Eddie Howe’s men will have to shore up the defence which has conceded at least two goals in each of the last four matches and they arrive at St Mary’s having failed to win in 10 of the last 11 away games.
Southampton were denied a point against Arsenal in their last home game when a late Danny Welbeck goal made it 3-2 for the visitors. The Saints squandered a 2-0 lead at Stamford Bridge a week later when Chelsea scored three in times in ten minutes to clinch the points.
On the strength of those performances, Southampton should be able to outscore Bournemouth to give themselves a Premier League lifeline.
