Blackburn Rovers journey to St. Mary's Stadium on Tuesday for their Championship fixture with Southampton, and our team has the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
Southampton, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 2-1 Championship triumph versus Derby County. We think that The Saints look set to kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system with Daniel Peretz, James Bree, T. Harwood-Bellis, Jack Stephens, Ryan Manning, Flynn Downes, Caspar Jander, Tom Fellows, Finn Azaz, Léo Scienza and Ross Stewart.
Alex McCarthy, Cyle Larin and Mads Roerslev won’t be able to feature for S'hampton boss Tonda Eckert.
How Southampton might line up vs Blackburn Rovers
In their last fixture, Blackburn Rovers drew 1-1 in the Championship tie with Stoke City. There’s a good chance that Rovers could decide to utilise a 3-4-2-1 formation using Balázs Tóth, Tom Atcheson, Eiran Cashin, Sean McLoughlin, Ryan Alebiosu, Adam Forshaw, Moussa Baradji, Yuri Ribeiro, Ryoya Morishita, Todd Cantwell and Yuki Ohashi.
Blackburn boss Michael O'Neill has some current player fitness concerns. Ryan Hedges (Ankle injury), Todd Cantwell (Foot injury), Aynsley Pears (surgery), Scott Wharton (Achilles tendon problems), Sidnei Tavares (Knee injury), Augustus Kargbo (Hamstring injury), Sondre Tronstad (Knee surgery) and Lewis Miller (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t be making appearances.
