The Saints are plodding along in midtable but Norwich’s mini revival was emphatically stopped by two tough games in the top flight against Manchester City and Liverpool. They’ll have a better chance here but how does Thommo see this one playing out? Here’s his Southampton v Norwich tips.

Friday 8pm: Southampton v Norwich

TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League

Southampton are having a good run of it and they’re unbeaten in five games in all competitions. The bet that I would have would be Southampton to Win to Nil. Norwich are the lowest away goal scorers with seven.

They had had a good run prior to facing Manchester City and Liverpool, conceding four against City and three against Liverpool. Southampton are having a good time of it, at St Mary’s, I can’t see anything other than a Southampton Win.

If you’re looking for a goal scorer, I’d say James Ward-Prowse. He’s fantastic at set plays, set pieces, penalty kicks, I would expect, if you’re going to have a goal scorer it would be Ward-Prowse to Score Anytime and my judgment on this is 2-0 to Southampton.
