Team news

Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu could make a return to the squad after recovering from ankle surgery for the Premier League match against Leeds on Tuesday night.

Defender Jan Bednarek (heel) missed the win over Fulham, but will be available again, while forward Danny Ings was taken off after an hour as a precautionary measure to manage his own return to full fitness.

Full-back Ryan Bertrand, set to leave the club at the end of the season, remains sidelined with a calf injury, along with midfielder Will Smallbone (knee).

Leeds will be without defender Robin Koch and midfielder Mateusz Klich for the trip to St Mary's Stadium.

Koch is carrying a minor hip complaint and while Klich has no injury concerns, Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa has granted the pair early leave to boost their hopes of featuring in this summer's European Championship.

Pablo Hernandez could return while Liam Cooper was an unused substitute in Saturday's 4-0 win at Burnley, having missed the preceding four games through suspension and a glute injury.

Jones Knows' prediction

Two attack-minded, in-form teams playing without stress in front of a crowd; this has all the hallmarks of a shots-fest.

The end-of-season feel to games has certainly made for an upturn in the number of shots being fired. The last 10 Premier League fixtures have averaged 31 shots per 90 minutes which is way above the usual season average of 24.

Leeds are always worth a look in the shots market betting - no team has seen more in their fixtures this season with 1016 being fired in their games as entertainment is usually guaranteed when they match up with a similarly-ranked rival. Ralph Hasenhuttl will fight fire with fire and will want to give the home fans in attendance plenty to shout about as they go for three wins on the spin. This all adds up to backing the 13/8 with Sky Bet for 29 or more shots in the match looking like a smart move.

JONES KNOWS PREDICTS: 2-2

BETTING ANGLE: 29 or more shots in the match (13/8 with Sky Bet)
