Is it a derby? Is it a rivalry? Do the two clubs really hate each other at all? No one really knows but whatever it is will be renewed on Wednesday evening as the Saints head to the Vitality Stadium to take on Bournemouth as part of the midweek Premier League TV schedule.
The hosts have been on a brilliant run of late, in fact, after Man City’s defeat on Sunday, they’re the only side to remain unbeaten since their 9-0 hammering at the hands of Liverpool.
Gary O’Neil is doing his chances of getting the permanent job absolutely no harm at all as after the 2-2 draw with Fulham on the weekend, the Cherries have taken 10 points from six games since the interim boss replaced Scott Parker.
In the opposing dugout, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s stock is not as high but Sunday’s draw with West Ham United appears to have earned him a bit more time to turn things around.
Romain Perraud’s deflected strike was cancelled out by Declan Rice’s curler at St Mary’s but helped bring an end to Southampton’s four-game losing run.
They’ll be hoping to go one better and head back along the South Coast with all three points on Wednesday evening.

Our prediction: Bournemouth v Southampton
Whether or not this is a derby, this game on the South Coast is about more than just the bragging rights as both sides push to extend their stay in the Premier League for another season.
The Cherries have all the momentum after the eye-catching turnaround of fortunes under O’Neil and you do wonder whether a victory for them could finally see Hasenhuttl depart.
Both Dominic Solanke and Che Adams were a real nuisance on the weekend so this one could be decided by which of the two strikers can be more clinical.
Our prediction: Bournemouth 1-0 Southampton (8/1 at bet365)
