Southampton is a tough team to score a goal against which they proved in their game against Manchester United. The defence line was in such a good form that a free-scoring United team failed to create that many clearcut chances.

With the added protection of one of the most in-form goalkeepers in the league, Southampton will surely be a tough side to crack in the upcoming fixtures (their next 4 fixtures have an FDR rating of only 2).

Yoshida is expected to start in all the games and with van Dijk now back, expect better defensive performances from the Saint.
