Southampton vs Aston Villa Prediction
Southampton clearly growing in confidence can no doubt trouble a leaky Villa backline, and Jones’ side has not had much difficulty in front of goal at home, despite their dismal set of results.
On the attacking front, Aston Villa is a force to be reckoned with, and we can expect a share of the spoils in a high-scoring South Coast stalemate.
Southampton vs Aston Villa Match Preview
Last time out, the latest James Ward-Prowse stunning free kick propelled Southampton to all three points against one of their basement rivals, Everton, as boos rang out across Goodison Park after the Toffees failed to build on Amadou Onana’s opening header.
Ward-Prowse leveled in the second half before sending a thunderous effort into the net 12 minutes from time, giving Nathan Jones his long-awaited first Premier League win as Saints manager and his third in all tournaments.
Southampton’s win over Everton did not change their 20th-placed standing at the bottom of the Premier League table, but they are now level with Everton and West Ham United on 15 points and just one adrift of safety, building on an FA Cup victory over Crystal Palace and memorable EFL Cup defeat of Manchester City.
Prior to defeating Everton, Jones’ team had a dismal seven-game winless streak and six-game losing streak in the Premier League. Onana’s header did, however, extend the hosts’ top-flight dry spell of eight games since a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth in October.
Jones and his leaky Saints team are now tasked with ending Southampton’s six-match Premier League winless streak at St Mary’s. The Saints have allowed a season-high 16 goals at home and haven’t kept a top-flight clean sheet in front of their own supporters since April 2022.

Unai Emery demanded a response from Aston Villa during Leeds’ visit to the West Midlands last Friday. The Lions came back with a narrow victory. This came after his team became the latest FA Cup giant-killing victims at the hands of Stevenage.
Before Emiliano Buendia’s insurance goal, Villa’s Leon Bailey scored after just three minutes. Emery’s team held out for the final few seconds despite having their clean sheet ruined by Patrick Bamford seven minutes from time.
Aston Villa’s improved performances under Emery have allowed the Lions to rise to 11th in the table, only three points adrift of underwhelming powerhouses Liverpool and Chelsea. The Lions are still unbeaten in the Premier League since the turn of the year and have earned seven points from the nine available in the top flight.
Since Emery took over, only Liverpool have defeated Aston Villa in the Premier League. In five of Villa’s six top-flight games under the former Arsenal manager, the team has scored and conceded. Emery has a chance to become the first Lions manager since John Gregory in 1998 to win all three of his away games.

Villa defeated Southampton 1-0 earlier this season thanks to a goal from Jacob Ramsey, the Lions’ third victory in their last four meetings with the Saints. However, the hosts defeated Villa by the same score at St Mary’s in the 2021–22 season.
Southampton vs Aston Villa Team News
After beating Everton, Southampton has no new injury or suspension concerns to report. Jones might even be able to welcome back Theo Walcott, Alex McCarthy, and Armel Bella-Kotchap on Saturday, though none of them are expected to start.
For the hosts, Juan Larios and Valentino Livramento are still out of the running. Carlos Alcaraz made his debut at Goodison Park as a substitute after joining from Racing Club, but Jones might not be ready to give the 20-year-old a starting position just yet.
The hosts may choose to start with the same lineup that led to their victory in Merseyside, but Sam Edozie was less effective in that contest and may find his position threatened by Adam Armstrong or Sekou Mara.
With regard to Villa, Ollie Watkins was replaced by former Saints striker Danny Ings in the first half of Friday’s victory over Leeds due to the latter’s ankle problem; however, Watkins has since joined West Ham United.
Watkins’ ankle has not sustained any significant damage, according to scans, and he may be able to play this week after rejoining training. This will relieve pressure on Villa chiefs to complete the weekend signing of Jhon Duran from Chicago Fire.
After Lucas Digne left the game with a shoulder injury after just 10 minutes the last time, joining Diego Carlos, John McGinn, and Jed Steer on the sidelines, Alex Moreno should be in line for his full Premier League debut.
However, Jan Bednarek is unable to play against his parent club while Leander Dendoncker has served his suspension and Matty Cash and Ludwig Augustinsson are once again healthy.
