After claiming a 2-1 win against Watford on Saturday, confidence is at an all-time high with Southampton heading into their second fixture against a relegation rival in as many days.

Southampton tonight host Norwich City in a relegation six-pointer that can have drastic implications on the survival race for the Premier League season, with a win for the Saints potentially being enough to see them escape the bottom three of the league table.
Will Southampton claim Premier League survival?
Yes
No
It is a must-win game tonight for the Saints, and supporters on social media know this as plenty took to Twitter to hype up the squad heading into this evening’s fixture.
Here’s what some Southampton fans had to say on Twitter about tonight’s game, with a few fans prepared for what can go down tonight in what could be the Saints most important match of the season so far…
We will need to score more than once tonight; no chance of a clean sheet if we continue this shambolic defending.

Norwich head into this game on the back of a 2-2 draw against Arsenal, the same scoreline Southampton claimed against the Gunners one week earlier.
