SAINTS' relegation rivals are looking in good health going into the tense run-in.

Harry Redknapp's men are without David Prutton until the last game of the season due to his suspension and long-term injury victims Michael Svensson and Jelle van Damme.

Bbut other than that, they are fighting fit - even Marian Pahars is ready to play competitively for the first time this season.

But there is equally good news on the injury and suspension front for West Brom, Crystal Palace and Norwich.

The latter two face each other this weekend at Selhurst Park.

West Brom will be kicking their heels as their game with Blackburn has been put back due to Rovers' involvement in the FA Cup semi-finals.

The in-form Baggies' next game is next Wednesday, by which time they will have two games in hand on Saints who face Aston Villa at St Mary's this weekend and Bolton at the Reebok Stadium on Tuesday.
