West Bromwich Albion v Southampton: match preview

West Bromwich Albion v Southampton
West Bromwich Albion v Southampton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light.

Albion are keen to match the eighth-place finish of 2013, their best since 1981, and though their Europa League hopes are fast fading they should give Tony Pulis his first top-10 finish. The visitors, one place behind them, have little to play for but remain a yardstick. “Southampton are a fantastic model … they are a top-10 team and they have some brilliant players,” Pulis said.
