Intro:

After a 2-2 draw at home to Sunderland on the opening day of the new English Premier League season, West Bromwich Albion travel to Southampton on Saturday - with both teams searching for their opening win of the season.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English): Alan Irvine, West Bromwich Albion manager

"I think they (Saturday's opponents Southampton) can more than survive. I think they could have another very good season. I think that they have spent the money (from the major summer transfers) very wisely. They have replaced very good players with very good players. And I was really impressed with how they played at Anfield (during the 2-1 defeat at Liverpool on Sunday, August 17th). Not many teams go to Anfield and make it go quiet. But that certainly happened during periods of the game."
