This is a real chance for Hull to crank up the pressure on Swansea, who play a day later.

While the Tigers' record on the road is awful, they can draw hope from the fact Southampton haven't exactly been on fire at St Mary's of late.

That said, the Saints display at Chelsea in midweek certainly dispelled any suggestion they might already be on the beach.

But Marco Silva's men are likely to be just that bit more fired up than the home side, given how strong a position victory would put them in, with all-but-doomed Sunderland the visitors to their KCOM Stadium fortress next week.

Saints boss Claude Puel makes just one change from the side who lost 4-2 to Chelsea on Tuesday, with Nathan Redmond in and James Ward-Prowse dropping to the bench.

Southampton XI: Forster, Cedric, Yoshida, Stephens, Bertrand, Romeu, Davis, Redmond, Tadic, Boufal, Gabbiadini.

Subs: Long, Rodriguez, Caceres, Ward-Prowse, Hojberg, Sims, Hassen.

Hull are unchanged from the team that beat Watford 2-0 last time out - can they get a first away win under Marco Silva today?

Hull City XI: Jakupovic, Robertson, Maguire, Ranocchia, Elmohamady, Grosicki, N’Diaye, Clucas, Markovic, Evandro, Niasse  

Subs: Huddlestone, Hernandez, Maloney, Dawson, Henriksen, Marshall, Bowen.

First up, here's some team news...

A big day, a huge day, a massive day at the bottom of the Premier League.

If Hull better Sunderland's result then the Tigers will relegate the Black Cats - in line with the feline hierarchy.

Hull haven't won away under Marco Silva though - can they put that right at St Mary's?

Southampton meanwhile are looking to consolidate yet another top 10 finish.
