This weekend Southampton face West Bromwich Albion for the third time this season, hoping to make it a hattrick of victories.
A win over the Baggies would see the Saints through to the last eight of the FA Cup, having beaten both Fulham and Watford to reach this stage.
As previously mentioned, West Brom are the only side to have been beaten by Southampton on two occasions this season, with a Sofiane Boufal wonder-strike winning the game at St. Mary’s before a thrilling 3-2 victory at the Hawthorns just under a fortnight ago.
Since then however the Saints lost in a disappointing fashion the rivals Liverpool, meaning the supporters will hope that the players’ confidence isn’t dented. Prior to the loss to the Reds, Southampton were on a run of six games without defeat.
Whilst the Saints will reportedly field a full-strength team, it remains unclear how Alan Pardew will set up – his side are now five points adrift of 19th and a whole seven points clear of safety with just 11 games left this season.
But who are West Brom’s key danger-men ahead of tomorrow’s match-up?
