Norwich City host Southampton this evening as Premier League football returns this week.
Both sides are battling for survival this season, and Norwich know they cannot realistically afford to lose against a direct rival if they are to avoid the drop this season.
The Canaries sit bottom of the pile with 21 points from a difficult season, six points adrift of safety and in desperate need of a winning return.
As for Southampton, Ralph Hasenhuttl's side have had an up-and-down campaign: the coach's job looked in jeopardy following a 9-0 home defeat by Leicester in October, but the Saints went on a superb run of form from late December to turn their season around.
However, a few poor results before the shutdown has left Southampton seven points clear of danger; and in a League as tight as this one, things could look very different in little over a week unless the Saints hit the ground running.
