With both teams hovering just above the drop zone there is a heck of a lot at stake. Both sides have had a recent fall in performance though Southampton would feel that they may have the edge.
Darren Bent went of injured at Bradford and joins a long list of unavailable Villains.
The striker missed a hatful of chances against Bradford but could quite easily begin finding the net if the chances keep coming.
Lallana is a major doubt though it is hoped that Clyne and Ramirez will be fit to return.
The skillful midfielder could be the man to open up the Villa defence for our attackers.
Villa have a clear edge against Saints at home with 19 wins 9 draws and only 6 defeats with a total of 54 goals scored and 23 let in.
Chris Foy will referee this game.
Could be a nervy game and one where the first goal could be decisive.
