Ramsdale, who turned 22

in May, has been heavily

involved this season for

such a young goalkeeper

Southampton are playing two of their

close south-coast rivals within the

space of four days for the first time

ever. Brighton & Hove Albion’s draw at

St Mary’s Stadium on Thursday left

them almost safe from relegation and

Bournemouth can take a stride in that

direction with victory tomorrow
