Southampton led at Old Trafford last weekend but ended up losing 3-2 to Manchester United. The defeat left them one place above the bottom three and two points clear of Cardiff City. They are lucky that none of the bottom three are in good form at present but Southampton need some points to ensure safety from relegation. That won't be easy as their own form is patchy at present. The home win over Fulham is their only victory in their last six league matches. Home form is a bit more promising with seven points from the last four at St Mary's but six of those points came in January.

Tottenham had a great win at Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday evening to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Their Premier League form has slipped of late though and although still third, they are ten points behind the leaders. More of a concern is they are only four points above fifth-placed Arsenal in the chase to qualify for next season's Champions League. Spurs have only earned one point from their last three league games and it could have been worse but for Arsenal missing a late penalty last weekend. They have lost their last two away league games but before that had won four in a row. This won't be easy but Tottenham can get a narrow away win in this game.
