West Brom host Southampton in the Premier League on Monday.

The Baggies made a statement last week with an incredible 5-2 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

That result will undoubtedly give Sam Allardyce’s side confidence ahead of facing their opponents, but Southampton claimed all three points a week ago too.

The Saints came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 against Burnley to go 10 points clear of the relegation zone.

Here’s all you need to know about the Premier League fixture tonight.

When is it?

The fixture will kick-off at 6pm GMT at The Hawthorns.

How can I watch it?

The match is live on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event with coverage starting from 5pm GMT. If you’re not a Sky customer you can grab a NOWTV Day Pass here to watch without a subscription.

What is the team news?

Dara O’Shea could start after suffering an ankle injury in the win over Chelsea, but Branislav Ivanovic is out after picking up a hamstring injury against his former club. Conor Gallagher is available after being ineligible to face his parent club last week.

Kyle Walker-Peters picked up a leg problem in training and will be assessed before kick-off. Oriol Romeu, William Smallbone and Michael Obafemi are out.

Predicted line-ups

West Brom: Johnstone, Furlong, O’Shea, Bartley, Ajayi, Townsend, Gallagher, Maitland-Niles, Phillips, Pereira, Robinson

Odds

Prediction

Both sides will be desperate not to lose this match, but it could be more open than expected. West Brom will be feeling confident after their win at Chelsea and could go for the win, but I expect a draw. 1-1.
