Former Leeds United star David Prutton has warned over the threat that the Whites’ promotion rivals Southampton pose, admitting they can tear teams apart.

Despite a slow start to the season, Southampton have managed to find form and they have climbed up to third place in the Championship table, past Leeds, who are fourth.

Russell Martin’s side are unbeaten in 19 league games and are considered big rivals to Leeds for an automatic promotion spot.

Former White Prutton believes that the majority of the players in the Saints squad are of Premier League level and pointed out that Southampton have shown they can be dominant in possession.

Prutton warned that when Southampton are on song they can simply blow teams away.

“Southampton are now unbeaten in 19 and they are phenomenal”, Prutton wrote in his Yorkshire Evening Post column.

“I will be intrigued to see how Swansea and Southampton match up at the weekend.

“Russell Martin did a fantastic job with Swansea and I say this with the greatest respect but he has been given a group of players now at Southampton that are predominantly Premier League players and look what he’s getting out of them.

“It’s a fantastic return that he’s got.

“You give them an inch like potentially Sheffield Wednesday did and they will smash you to pieces.

“They are a thoroughly dominant side of possession, they’ve got a devastating way of finishing teams off and they were in second spot for a couple of hours last weekend before the Ipswich game.”

Southampton beat Leeds 3-1 at St Mary’s earlier this season and the two sides are set to clash at Elland Road on the final day of the season in early May.
