The Premier League weekend gets underway on Friday this week with a South Coast derby.
Southampton host rivals Bournemouth, and both clubs come into the game on seven points – sat in 9th and 10th respectively.
If there is a winner, then that team would move to third for at least 24 hours.
See below for a preview on the game, including predictions from former England, Crystal Palace and Tottenham midfielder Andy Gray and our own Football Insider Graeme Bailey and bet365’s Steve Freeth.
