Very difficult ground to go to for a must win game against a very well organised and dangerous outfit, their league position should indicate that they are not just making up the numbers,
Koeman has Saints playing a very attractive style and history has shown this season that they can be a match for anyone, however,
This is the key point in a season where your intentions have to galvanise and for your players to push on,
For me Saints are already at the peak of their capabilities and will find it very difficult to find that extra gear, we on the other hand have yet to reach our zenith after a slow start but from now I feel we will get better and better,
Despite missing one or two through injury I still feel we will prove too much for them, had we met a couple of months ago admittedly I'd be worried, but we are on a roll and although we have been far from convincing we still pull out favourable results, that is the mark of a progressing side,
This is our pivotal time now where our schedule could dictate which side BR opts for, but the league matches should take priority over anything else so I'm expecting the strongest possible X1 today,
I don't think he will change much from Thursday if at all so I'd be happy if he starts thus...

This will be as tight as a newts ring piece, I seriously doubt we will keep a clean sheet so we need to score at least two, I fancy Studge to bag at least one, and I'd love to see super Mario to bag also,
1-2 Might Reds
