Match Preview

No new worries for Adkins Southampton boss Nigel Adkins has no new injury or suspension problems for the clash with Yeovil. Guly Do Prado continues to struggle with a hamstring strain that has seen him miss the last two matches and is not expected to recover in time. Dan Seaborne, Jonathan Forte and David Connolly are pushing for a return to the squad after recovering from minor niggles. Midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin will again be absent with the knee injury he suffered against Walsall last Tuesday. Tommy Forecast will continue on the substitutes' bench in the absence of back-up keeper Bartosz Bialkowski, who may require surgery on a knee injury. It remains to been seen if Ben Reeves keeps his place in the squad after he was picked among the substitutes for the first time this season at the weekend. Paul Wotton is a major doubt for Glovers boss Terry Skiverton ahead of the trip. The veteran midfielder suffered a hamstring injury five minutes into Saturday's 1-1 draw with 10-man Huddersfield and is unlikely to recover in time to face the club he made over 50 appearances for before signing for the Glovers. Ed Upson replaced Wotton against the Terriers and is likely to take his place in the starting line-up at St Mary's. Sam Williams is also pushing for a return to the XI after his 15-minute substitute appearance at the weekend, while loan striker Antonio German is pressing for his first start since signing on loan from QPR.

Match Report

Barnard at the double A Lee Barnard double and a long-range Alex Chamberlain strike helped promotion-chasing Southampton to a 3-0 win over an under-par Yeovil side. Saints dominated throughout and deservedly led after 15 minutes when Barnard reacted quickest to Danny Butterfield's quickly-taken free-kick and fired past Stephen Henderson from six yards. Yeovil barely made any progress into the Southampton half of the pitch, with long-range efforts from Dean Bowditch and Andrew Williams the sum total of their best attacking efforts. Saints deservedly doubled their lead on 55 minutes with Adam Lallana the architect as he jinked past two Yeovil defenders on the right-hand edge of the box, before pulling back an inch-perfect cross back for the onrushing Barnard to head home from six yards. And the result was wrapped up in emphatic style on 67 minutes when the impressive Chamberlain - a thorn in the side of Yeovil's defenders all night - thumped a long-range effort which beat Henderson with the aid of a deflection.
