Without Dominic Solanke, the Cherries are struggling to find the back of the net. Their defensive frailties were exposed by Liverpool and Adoni Iraola has made three changes to that side. As for their opponents, Russell Martin’s men undoubtedly play some decent football. However, a combination of catastrophic mistakes at the back and a lack of finesse up front has made it a difficult return to the Premier League for the Saints. Maxwell Cornet makes his first top-flight start for them as they hunt for goals. 

Fellow strugglers Everton and Leicester both picked up points this weekend, making this an even more crucial clash. Both sides need to get something to maintain their chances of survival. When these teams met back in 2019 it was a 3-3 thriller. Fans will hope for similar excitement this time around.
