Southampton will be hoping to close the gap on the top two in the Championship on Friday night as they host Plymouth at St Mary’s.

The Saints had a hit and miss start to the season, however, Russell Martin’s side are now unbeaten in their last 16 outings to leave them third in the Championship and just five points behind Ipswich.

Southampton, who are hoping to secure instant promotion back to the Premier League, come into the Plymouth clash on the back of their 5-0 demolition of Swansea on Boxing Day.

Plymouth won League One last season to secure promotion to the Championship and they find themselves 16th in the table. In typical fashion for the league, the Pilgrims are eight points off the bottom three but also eight points off the playoffs.

Steven Schumacher left the club just before Christmas to take over at Stoke leaving Neil Dewsnip as interim manager. He’s trying to steady the ship as Plymouth search for their next boss.
