Five minutes till kick-off!

Vecchi admitted it has been a difficult week. "I had time to run a quick session and I have lost a few hours sleep analysing my own team and Southampton.

"It is an unusual situation. Frank put a lot passion and commitment into the job and we got on very well. I am sorry this has happened."

Southampton manager Claude Puel said it is "difficult to prepare" for the game due to de Boer's departure. He said: "We don't know what to expect from Inter now. We now have to show more concentration."

Here is the how Group K looks before tonight's game. Sparta Prague are top, two points clear of Southampton. Hapoel Be'er Shev are third with Inter bottom.

Southampton have faced six shots on target in the Europa League this season. Only St Etienne (5) and Shakhtar Donetsk (1) have faced fewer shots.

Fighting talk from Inter defender Andrea Ranocchia who said the Saints will have to "come spitting blood" if they want to win."We have the chance to show we can fight tooth and nail."

Two weeks ago, Inter won the reverse fixture 1-0 thanks to Antonio Candreva's goal. But Frank De Boer was sacked on Tuesday after just 85 days in charge. Youth coach Stefano Vecchi is in charge.
