Resurgent Southampton could find themselves in the play-off places with a win at high-flying Millwall on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
Following Wednesday's 1-0 home win over Sheffield Wednesday, which ended a four-game winless run, the Lions go into the weekend sat fourth and with a chance of climbing into the automatic promotion places with another victory.
After drubbing Leicester 3-0 on Tuesday, Saints have now won four straight under interim boss Tonda Eckert, scoring 13 goals and conceding only three, and have climbed to 13th, but depending on results elsewhere another win could see them jump into the top six.
