West Brom – Southampton is an intriguing duel on Monday (starting time 1pm ET on NBCSN and online via NBCSports.com) as the Baggies have to go all out to win in the battle against relegation.
The Sam Allardyce’s side caused a big shock at Chelsea last weekend but they are still in second place and need a lot more wins to save themselves from relegation. But if they can beat the Saints they are giving themselves a great chance to get into the last seven games. With Matheus Pereira, Callum Robinson and Mbaye Diagne in good shape, Allardyce’s side hopes they will peak at the perfect time of the season.
Southampton returned 2-0 last time, beating Burnley 3: 2. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s team has a great week ahead of them. A win against West Brom would almost secure their Premier League status for another season while they play against Leicester City at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-finals. Danny Ings and Theo Walcott are back looking dangerous again in attack. That should lead to an entertaining clash with the Hawthorns.
