Southampton v Wolves: match preview

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

After surging clear of the relegation battle, Southampton can afford to start looking up rather than down – and victory would put them level with Wolves and in the hunt for Europe. Ralph Hasenhüttl has no new injury concerns, while Diogo Jota is not quite ready to return for the visitors. Wolves could use extra firepower: they have scored twice in their five games since beating Manchester City, with Raúl Jiménez goalless since grabbing the equaliser in that memorable win.
