Sports Mole previews Southampton's clash with Reading in the Premier League on Saturday.

Southampton will be keen to continue their impressive form of late against Reading at St Mary's Stadium on Saturday.

Nigel Adkins's side have lost just one of their last five Premier League matches to move to third from bottom in the table on 12 points from 15 matches.

The Saints lost 1-0 at Liverpool last weekend, but prior to that they had drawn with Norwich City at home following back-to-back wins against Queens Park Rangers and Newcastle United.

On the other hand, Reading have slipped to 19th in the Premier League on nine points after losing their last three matches.

Brian McDermott's Royals have yet to win away from home in the league this season.

Both Southampton and Reading are likely to remain unchanged from their respective last matches for Saturday's relegation six-pointer.
