Southampton vs West Brom: Starting lineups, team news and kick-off time
For Russell Martin’s Saints, the goalless draw at The Hawthorns last weekend to open the tie was a case of job done – given the Baggies’ wide disparity between their home and away form.
West Brom have won just one of their last seven road trips although both sets of fans will be aware that simply anything can happen in the play-offs.
But it promises to be a fascinating night on the south coast as one of the Championship’s best attacks hosts one of its stoutest defences.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Southampton vs West Brom is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off tonight on Friday May 17, 2024.
The match will take place at St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton.
