Southampton travel to Bramall Lane on Saturday, hoping to end a nine-game winless streak in the Premier League and revive their flailing season.

Saints have not won any of their Premier League fixtures since a 1-0 result over Liverpool back at the start of January.

They narrowly lost to Everton last time out, but face rock-bottom Sheffield United on Saturday, with the Blades having had little time to prepare following their midweek clash with Aston Villa.

United are slowly running out of games to save their Premier League status and look certain to return to the Championship come May.

Chris Wilder’s men lost 3-0 to Saints back in December and the visitors will be desperate to claim a similar result to stop their woeful run of form.

Our prediction: Sheffield United v Southampton

Saints are in desperate need of a win and they won’t get a better chance between now and the end of the season than at lowly Sheffield United.

The Blades squad has been ravaged by injuries, and while there are fitness issues for Hasenhuttl too, the Saints boss should have a stronger XI out on the field at Bramall Lane than his opposite number.

Sheffield United will give this a good shot, but the game is one Saints should win, finally ending their nightmare run of form.

Our prediction: Sheffield United 0-2 Southampton (10/1 at bet365)
