Team News

Southampton
Swansea
  • Russell Martin will be forced into one change this week with Ryan Manning set to replace the injured James Bree.
  • The Saints will also be without Shea Charles after he was sent off during the win against QPR.
  • Alan Sheehan could hand starts to Yannick Bolasie and Jamal Lowe as Swansea prepare for a Boxing Day clash with Southampton.
  • Nathanael Ogbeta, Kristian Pedersen and Mykola Kukharevych are all close to returning from injuries.

Prediction

  • Taylor Harwood-Bellis' first-half goal proved enough to claim all three points against relegation-threatened QPR last time out following a close encounter at Loftus Road. Automatic promotion now seems a realistic possibility for the Saints, who are now unbeaten in their last 15 Championship outings.
  • Swansea were heading for an underwhelming draw against Preston last Friday night before a stoppage-time goal from Jamie Paterson sent the points the way of the Welsh side. Despite that triumph, this game will be a much tougher test for Alan Sheehan's men, who have won just one of their last four league matches away from home.
