It's back home for Southampton, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating AFC Bournemouth away with the result 1-0. Adams found the net in that victory. Sweet to taste a league victory after five games without. Salisu, defender, was given a rating of 7.85/10 in that game, top of the team. Salisu won 5 of 5 duels.
