Southampton – West Bromwich – Last Saturday’s ninth round of Premier League English Premier League brings us two teams from the midst of the table, with Southampton at the moment having a score of less than 10 West Bromwich. Otherwise, both teams have been victorious for a while, so in the last round they won only a point, while adding that last year both of their duels ended up winning the guests.

And when we add the fact that the “saints” in the last three appearances in their field have managed to win only one point, then it is quite clear that their camp has a lot of reasons to care for this experience with always unpleasant guests from Birmingham. However, coach Pochettina’s choice after a two-week defeat over the weekend did not come up to a 2: 2 home draw against Newcastle, which would certainly be an extra boost to the season.
However, thanks to the good parties at the start of the championship, they are still in the middle of the table, with only three points above the 18th Leicester, so it would not be a good idea to kick off West Bromwich, for which we have but said he currently has only a point of advantage. When it comes to composition, we believe Pochettino will send the same start to the field as in the previous round, especially as the Targett defender is still injured.
Alleged startup of Southampton: Forster – Soares, Yoshida, van Dijk, Bertrand – Romeu, Lemina – Tadic, Gabbiadini, Redmond – Long
West Bromwich
The Birmingham hosts, just like their next rivals, opened very well for the new season as they entered the first two rounds of victory over Bournemouth and Burnley, but then they won only four more points in the next six appearances, while in the League Cup at home defeated with Manchester City 2: 1. However, in the previous four rounds of the Premier League, there are even three draws, which only tells us that it is very difficult to win them, especially when they are extremely strong in defense.
However, everyone has long been known for this extremely defensive approach of their Pulis coach, so it is quite realistic to expect that the “saints” are now in a similar way, since the main goal for them will be for a third time in a row untimely so keep it in the middle of the table. As for the absentee problem, Morrison midfielder and winger Robson-Cane and Burke were still injured outside the machine, while Foster’s controversial and controversial goal was questioned.

As this is a duel between two teams from the middle of the table, then it is somehow the most realistic to expect them to be quite defensive and with the main goal of not losing, which only means there should be no more goals.
