Southampton’s winless run has come to an end but the manner of the defeat will offer more encouragement to Brighton. Graham Potter cannot count on Saints rolling over again but his side showed tremendous resolve in their draw with Liverpool – fight they need to bring every week to stay above the danger zone. Danny Ings – their top scorer – and Nathan Redmond may make welcome returns to bolster Ralph Hasenhüttl’s attack. Graham Searles
