Southampton v Wolves: match preview

This article is more than 5 years old

Ralph Hasenhüttl has no new injury worries as his side enter the home straight, although Mario Lemina is still not fit. With six winnable games to go and a five-point cushion over Cardiff, the Austrian’s primary objective of avoiding relegation is within reach. Wolves may be more obliging opponents than expected – remarkably, they have earned more points per game against the top six than the bottom six. The Wembley collapse against Watford may have sharpened their focus though and Wolves have not lost to Southampton since a 6-0 thrashing in 2007. Niall McVeigh
