Saints finally spend some time near the opposition box but that time comes to an end when Ryan Betrand fouls Pedro Neto - seemed a bit of a harsh decision tbf.

Pedro Neto was one of the bright sparks for Wolves against Manchester United.

He sends a lovely cross in from the right, Jonny chests the ball down but applies too much chest - if that makes sense - and loses possession.

Wolves win a corner and then another.

• Southampton have won three of their five Premier League meetings with Wolves (D1 L1), winning both home matches in 2003-04 and 2018-19.
• Wolves have lost their last five away top-flight visits against Southampton, a run stretching back to October 1980.
• Southampton have won four of their last five league games (D1), as many as they had in their previous 22 in the competition (W4 D6 L12).
• Only Liverpool (30) and Manchester City (22) have won more points over their last 10 Premier League matches than Southampton (20).
• Wolves haven’t lost three consecutive away league matches since March 2016 in the Championship under manager Kenny Jackett.

Southampton are now looking up rather than down the table following their fine run of form, with the Saints currently closer to European qualification than the relegation zone.

Danny Ings has been a major reason behind their resurgence, with his superb scoring run understandably leading to clamour for an England recall.

If any team could have done without an FA Cup replay in midweek, it was Wolves, with this already their 39th game of the season, which is more than any other Premier League side has played.

It looks as though that might be starting to catch up with them after some tired performances of late, when they've looked especially jaded in attack.

Southampton's recent results show you the value of sticking with your manager because Ralph Hasenhuttl could easily have gone after they lost 9-0 at home to Leicester in October.

Wolves are one of the better sides in the division but even they have not been on a great run since the end of the year and, right now, you would have to make Saints favourites.

Prediction: 2-0
