Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino expects Ricki Lambert to rediscover his scoring touch.
Lambert has gone four games without a goal and missed a sitter in last month's FA Cup defeat at Sunderland.
Pochettino said: "Maybe it happened when a striker has good chances to score and does not take them that may affect him.
"We want him to score goals. That will be good for him and good for Southampton Football Club. It will be good for his chances of going to the World Cup."
