Southampton vs West Brom – Betting Tips
The Saints will only get two days of rest ahead of this fixture and this could severely hamper their chances in the game. They have picked up seven points in their last three games and defeated Bournemouth 3-1 in their last fixture. They are currently placed eighth, but they could leapfrog Everton into the seventh spot if they manage to defeat Spurs.
The Baggies are just a point behind in the eighth place. They have lost three of their last four fixtures, but those defeats came against the likes of Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal.
