Southampton need to overcome their shyness in front of the cameras for this game. We have a poor record recently and with high scoring Peterborough in opposition won’t need any further distractions.
with both teams capable of scoring plenty of goals this could be a cracking game and one which with luck will show everybody that the united game wasn’t a one off performance.
Skipper Grant McCann after suspension, and defender Lee Frecklington could both return for this game.
efender Gabriel Zakuani is still a long term casualty with his dislocated shoulder.
Craig has netted a lot of goals for Posh and is on several clubs’ radar. Saints were reported to have been interested in him recently. Will need to be watched closely.
Skipper Dean Hammond is hoping to start after coming on as a sub on Tuesday. Adam Lallana may not yet be ready but has started light training.
Rickie saved our bacon with two late headers on Tuesday and will fancy his chances of adding to his tally against the suspect Posh defence.
These two teams have only met twice at Peterborough. With one win apiece there is little to glean from the records.

In hoping that Saints defence is better than most I am going for 1-3 to Saints.
