Southampton could not hope for better opposition in Hull City, to ease tired legs, after taking revenge against Internazionale on Thursday night. Mike Phelan’s side have lost six successive league games and a good run in the EFL Cup is unlikely to lift spirits. However Phelan could be thrown a lifeline if Robert Snodgrass returns from injury, the Scot was instrumental in Hull’s early season triumphs. Graham Searles
