Prediction

  • Southampton were at their unstoppable best on Tuesday afternoon, scoring four times in the second half as they embarrassed Swansea in a 5-0 home victory.
  • Russell Martin's men are now unbeaten in their last 16 league outings and have closed the gap to second-placed Ipswich to just five points.
  • A brace from star winger Morgan Whittaker helped Plymouth secure a point from their visit to the Welsh capital on Boxing Day as the Pilgrims came from behind to peg back Cardiff.
  • The managerless visitors are unbeaten in their last four league games, although three of those have ended in draws.
