Brentford v Southampton: match preview

Brentford v Southampton
Brentford v Southampton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Neither Brentford or Southampton are mathematically safe yet but both find themselves enjoying the magical 40-point mark as the season draws to a close. A top-half finish is still on the table, too, so they should both be gunning for victory still as they are only four points behind Brighton in ninth. Brentford will be looking to rediscover their creative flair after two games without scoring while Southampton will hope to gain some defensive stability after winning once in their past 10 while conceding 25 goals in all competitions.
