Before you lock in any Southampton vs. Norwich City picks, you MUST see what SportsLine's soccer insider Brandt Sutton has to say. 

Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for nearly five years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe. 

Sutton knows that Southampton is on arguably its best stretch of the season entering play on Friday riding a five-game unbeaten streak. This includes a huge road win over Tottenham to narrow the gap between the two in the standings, as well as drawing with first-place Manchester City and fourth-place Manchester United. In all competitions, Southampton is unbeaten over its last 10 home games, with just one loss all season at St. Mary's Stadium.

Sutton has also taken into account that Norwich had one of its best games of the season in November versus Southampton, collecting its second victory of the season with a 2-1 result. Norwich allowed an early goal but then matched that when Teemu Pukki found the back of the net in the seventh minute, before Grant Hanley put the Canaries ahead in the 79th minute. While Norwich struggled after that game, it has picked up its play since the calendar flipped to 2022, particularly on the offensive end. The club has scored seven goals over its last five EPL games, compared to seven goals over its previous 17 league matchups.
