What they’re saying: Southampton – West Brom
Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl on the Baggies’ threat: “If you know our team and us as staff you know we take every opponent seriously. With our home record, we were definitely not the best so we have to show up now. We had some good games at the end of last season against Man City and Sheffield United. We must be good in possession, be clinical, concentrate when playing against the ball and not give the ball away.”
Slaven Bilic on chasing WBA’s first Premier League win of the season: “So far we’ve played against Leicester, Everton and Chelsea. Leicester and Everton are the only ones who have picked up 9 points from first three games, and Chelsea are Chelsea, a big club. Now we are facing a club that, again, is a Premier League club that is very competitive. They run a lot, they have clinical players up front and also have pace. … But we are planning to take something out of the game, definitely. That is our aim, knowing where we are going and that we have to be on top of our game.”

Southampton – West Brom prediction
It’s challenging to ignore Danny Ings as a fantasy player for this weekend given West Brom’s struggles at keeping balls out of the net. Whether Saints will manage the threats of Grady Diangana, Callum Robinson, and Matheus Pereira is an equally interesting questions. We see goals from both sides but a bit too much from Saints in a 2-1 win.
