7 Cardiff 36 13 59
8 Preston 34 12 59
Southampton need tuh put Preston in dey place for themselves and Sunderland... We wanna start seeing a gap between the top 6 and the rest of the table.
Furthermore, Preston are on level points with Southampton and a game up, amplifying the need for an outright win.
Preston v Southampton
Preston will be without Simon Whaley (foot), Paul McKenna (hernia) and Lewis Neal (neck) but Youl Mawene is back in training after a serious knee problem.
Fit-again Callum Davidson is likely to come in for the suspended Matt Hill but Brett Ormerod is rated doubtful because of a facial injury.
New loan signing from Liverpool, 20-year-old, Danny Guthrie will go straight into Saints squad.
Alexander Ostlund and Darren Powell are on the mend but not ready.
Our Boy Kenwyne
Here's a comparison between Southampton's top 2 strikers:
LG FA LC TOT
Rasiak 17 2 0 19
Jones 12 1 1 14
Here's what Jones has on Rasiak... Rasiak has played 32 while Jones has played 24.
Despite that... Rasiak still, statistically, has a greater likelyhood of scoring with .59 goals a game with Jones right on his heels at .58 a game.
I believe Jones will put away atleast one today and hopefully Southampton will put some space between themselves and Preston in the League tables.
