West Bromwich Albion vs. Southampton: Opposition threat
By Marc Walker
Jay Rodriguez
Former Saint Jay Rodriguez is in hot form at the moment, and has five goals in his last seven appearances in league and cup.
This impressive run includes a clinical double in West Brom’s win at Anfield last weekend where he looked to be close to some of the form he showed in a Southampton shirt.
He may have lost some of his pace since a horrible knee ligament injury in 2014, but he still possesses direct running at opposition defences and a good finish when under pressure.
With the Saints team struggling to create and score goals for a second straight season, Rodriguez will be hoping to prove that he still has the quality that his old team so desperately miss.
