These are curious times for both Tony Pulis and Ronald Koeman. The West Brom manager, Pulis, has watched his team stutter minus their star striker, Saido Berahino, who may feature here, while his Southampton counterpart, Koeman, will have been relieved that they ended a worrying start with a convincing win over Norwich before the international break. Expect a tight contest. Alan Smith
