    Saturday 1st February 2014
    Craven Cottage, 3pm kick off

    Match officials:

    Referee: Mike Jones
    Assistants: G Beswick and I Hussin
    4th Official: D Coote


    Form guide:

    Southampton:

    Southampton 2-2 Arsenal
    Southampton 2-0 Yeovil
    Sunderland 2-2 Southampton
    Southampton 1-0 West Brom
    Southampton 4-3 Burnley

    Southampton 0-3 Chelsea

    Saints have only lost once in 6 games and are on a 5 game unbeaten run in all competitions. Saints are finding form again.

    Fulham:

    Swansea 2-0 Fulham
    Sheffield United 1-1 Fulham
    Arsenal 2-0 Fulham
    Fulham 3-0 Norwich
    Fulham 1-4 Sunderland
    Norwich 1-1 Fulham

    Team news:

    Pochettino has to decide whether to restore Victor Wanyama to the starting line up now that he has recovered from his injury. Lambert may be fit for Saturday but no Lovren or Ramirez.

    For Fulham, Riise is a doubt after limping out of their FA Cup match with Sheffield United. Amorebieta is also out injured.

    Prediction:

    Saints to cruise to a 3-1 victory with goals from Lallana and a brace for Rodriguez.

    Fulham are so awful, I will be really disappointed if we don't win this.

    Fulham 0-2 Southampton please, with Gallagher getting his first premier league goal and Lallana getting the second.

    Really looking forward to this one, always go away with the missus at the end of January to get rid of the New Year blues. So this year it's a trip to Fulham along with a night out in London on Friday evening and lunch at the River Cafe before the game on Saturday. Can't wait.

    So pretty please Saints can you beat Fulham to make it the perfrect weekend, or at the very least don't lose. Thanks.

    Fulham have been terible form recently, which worries me a little bit as I can't help thinking that they have to pick up some poins sooner or later. But then I relaise that's the kind of thing Mark Lawrenson would say, and therefore not an intelligent way to judge the potential result of a football match.

    So I'm going to go 4-0 Saints, my favourite scoreline.

    It's a pretty bleak atmosphere on Friends of Fulham forum, they see relegation as a certainty. They are playing some really poor football and a can see a replay of the first game which we dominated completely and won comfortably.

    I'd start young Sam and use Vic from the bench to give him a run. Really we should blow past this shower of ****e.

    I'm looking forward to a replay of the home game, only where Berbatov is told to mark Gallagher at a corner rather than Ricky, and finds something else to do, leading to Sam's first Premier League goal.

    Fulham in talks to sign £11m Greece striker Mitroglou.
    The 25-year-old Greece international will cost around £11m and the Premier League strugglers hope to complete the deal before Friday's transfer deadline.
    The 6ft 1in Mitroglou has been in prolific form this season, scoring 21 goals in 23 appearances for club and country, including four hat-tricks.

    Big difference in class. I'd be more worried about Bent getting in behind.

    First trip to the Cottage, can't wait!Bought neutral end tickets as early as I could so right next to Fulham fans. Saints to go 2 up with a Lambert pen and a Rodriguez goal, Fulham pull one back but Saints to hold on to a deserved 2-1 victory<party><party><party>

    Same team as last night for me unless there are any niggles or knocks that we don't know about.
    Well balanced team with huge confidence from a great performance and I think that Sam G will be very effective playing away from home as he is so mobile and looking to get in behind the centre half ....Sendaros????? Need I say any more?
