West Brom still find themselves in eighth place in the Premier League but their form has dipped considerably as of late, leaving a chink in their armour for Southampton to aim for on Saturday.
The Baggies have picked up just one win from their last five games, losing three during that period against Crystal Palace, Everton, and Watford. Tony Pulis will want more from his side at the Hawthorns to close out the season efficiently.
West Brom will be glad to get back to home comforts after several consecutive away games, throughout neither of which they managed to hit the back of the net. A negative stalemate with Man United showed that Pulis is keen to squeeze out some points quickly.
Southampton bounced back from a goal behind to beat a resurgent Crystal Palace by a 3-1 scoreline on Wednesday, courtesy of late goals from Maya Yoshida and James Ward-Prowse.
Ryan Bertrand, Sofiane Boufal, Manolo Gabbiadini, Virgil Van Dijk, and Charlie Austin are all high-profile players who are struggling with injuries, with Claude Puel having to make do with what he has.
Given that West Brom have won five of their last six Premier League matches at home, it is hard to see how the Saints will be able to find a way to triumph at the Hawthorns with their depleted squad.
