Premier League : Southampton - West Brom Southampton will be keen to add to their unbeaten streak when they welcome West Bromwich Albion to St Mary's on Saturday.
The Saints have steered away from relegation danger with 12 points in their past six fixtures - including momentous wins over Liverpool and Chelsea - to remain unbeaten since their 2-1 loss to Queens Park Rangers in early March.
They are one point from the magical '40' mark that is widely regarded as being the number required to secure safety.
West Brom have failed to win in their past four - including drab draws against Stoke and Newcastle, plus losses to West Ham and Arsenal - but still sit three points clear in eighth spot in the table.

Premier League: Everton - Fulham David Moyes' side have failed to win their past two in the league - hence falling out of contention for the UEFA Champions League, and are five points off Tottenham in fifth.
Everton must overhaul Spurs to gain entry into next season's UEFA Europa League, but with just four games left that appears an unlikely outcome, especially with the London club having a game in hand.
However, it is the only meaningful thing either side has to play for at Goodison Park - with Fulham dwelling in 11th position on 40 points.

Premier League: Manchester City - West Ham Roberto Mancini's side's failed defence of their maiden Premier League title was confirmed when rivals Manchester United beat Aston Villa 3-0 on Monday.
But City can all but ensure they finish runners-up with three points in the early kick-off, as this - their game in hand - can see them go eight points clear of third-placed Arsenal with four matches remaining.
Sam Allardyce's West Ham, though, have provided stiff opposition of late - stringing together five matches unbeaten since a 2-0 loss to Chelsea in March.

Bundesliga: Bayern Munich - Freiburg Jupp Heynckes' men have been in sparkling form this season, and will be in confident mood after their emphatic 4-0 UEFA Champions League win over Barcelona on Tuesday.
Bayern clinched the quickest-ever Bundesliga triumph earlier this month with a 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, and head into this one knowing a point will see their name written into the record books.
However, they may have to do it without leading marksman Mario Mandzukic, who remains a doubt after missing the win over Wolfsburg last weekend. The Bavarians are likely to be without midfielder

Bundesliga: Borussia Dortmund - Fortuna Dussedorf After their comprehensive UEFA Champions League victory over Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund return to domestic action against struggling Fortuna Dusseldorf.
Jurgen Klopp's men are unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions and will be hoping to continue their impressive run of form to all but secure second place in the Bundesliga with a win.
However, with their second leg meeting with Madrid on the horizon their focus may be elsewhere, something that will give Dusseldorf reason to be hopeful.
In-form Robert Lewandowski could be rested for this game, despite scoring 23 goals in 27 appearances in the league this season, and Julian

Europa League: Fenerbahce 1:0 Benfica Fenerbahce grabbed a hard-fought 1-0 win against Benfica to carve out a slender advantage in the sides' UEFA Europa League semi-final tie on Thursday.
The hosts struck the woodwork on three separate occasions in the first half but secured the winning goal their performance had merited in the second period courtesy of Egeman Korkmaz.
Aykut Kocaman made two changes from his side's win over Lazio in the last round, with Caner Erkin's suspension and Selcuk Sahin's omission allowing Mehmet Topal and Moussa Sow into the starting XI. Jorge Jesus went one step further than his counterpart, however, with Pablo Aimar, Oscar Cardozo, Maxi Pereira, Andre Gomes and Jardel all starting having missed out against Newcast

Reina ridicules Suarez suspension Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has described the 10-match ban given to Luis Suarez as "absurd, out of proportion and excessive".
Reina held nothing back in his assessment of Suarez's ban, handed down after he bit Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in Sunday's 2-2 Premier League draw at Anfield.
The 30-year-old said Suarez had been treated unfairly due to his reputation and that he was a fantastic person off the field.
"I consider myself a friend of Luis. People in England are treating him different because he is Uruguayan or because he has had a previous episode like this," Reina told Spanish radio station Cadena Cope.
