Southampton travel to host West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns on Saturday in what is another crucial game in their Premier League season.

The Saints are now without a win in 12 league games, which is officially the worst winless run in the whole top four divisions of the football league.

Despite two wins in the FA Cup third and fourth rounds, things continue to look bleak on the south-coast and the team need some quick results to move out of the Premier League’s bottom three.

Sofiane Boufal’s fantastic solo goal won the first match between these two sides at St. Mary’s back in October in one of their four league victories this season.

Saturday’s opponents West Brom have gained a few good results since Alan Pardew was made boss, including a thrilling 3-2 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup last weekend.

Despite sitting bottom of the table on 20 points, the Baggies still have some dangerous players in their squad that Saints will have to overcome to get a positive result.

Here are three of Saints’ opponents on Saturday who could pose a threat:
