Match commentary
Southampton should dominate possession at St. Mary's and push forward through the middle, looking to control the tempo from the first whistle. Derby will likely sit deeper and try to hit back on the break, with the home side's 1.9 goals per game this season suggesting plenty of chances will come.
The key battle is Southampton's attacking width against Derby's defensive shape. If Saints can stretch the Derby back line and get crosses into the box, they have the tools to turn their control into goals, while Derby's 2.0 conceded per game this season is the weak point they will need to hold together.
